The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said Nigeria does not need President Bola Tinubu who runs when there is a problem.

Obi made the remark while mocking President Tinubu over the level of insecurity in Nigeria.

He spoke last night in Abuja during the inauguration of the NDC's Presidential Campaign Council.

Obi assured that if elected as Nigeria's president, his administration will uphold integrity and accountability.

He said: “My government will uphold integrity, enforce accountability, and ensure that public funds serve the people, not private interests.

"I will never use the office of the President to enrich myself, and I will not tolerate the misappropriation of Nigeria’s resources by anyone under my watch.

"We don't need a government where if there is a problem, our president will run away."

He noted that Tinubu has travelled out of Nigeria over 260 times but decided not to visit all states of the federation for his campaign.

Obi insisted that Nigeria needs a revolution that will change things.

"Our president has been out of this country for over 260 times in the past three years and now he can't take 30 days to go to all the states of Nigeria to tell them what he has been doing for the past three years with their money.

"That is unacceptable, as we will need a revolution that will turn this country around," he added.
