Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, has compared the current situation in Nigeria to the sinking of the Titanic.
He expressed that just like those on the upper deck of the Titanic were oblivious to the impending disaster, Nigerian leaders are also ignoring the country’s issues with their extravagant lifestyles.
In an interview with Arise News on Democracy Day, Peter Obi highlighted the need for Nigerian leaders to address the challenges facing the country before it’s too late.
“You’re supposed to show a clear plan, it is not enough to say we’re going to go through problems. If we’re going to go through problems, this is very simple.
“I always say what happened to the Titanic is what is happening in Nigeria. While it was going down, people on the upper deck were busy dancing until the whole thing collapsed, that’s what is happening now.
“We should change and do things rightly. We can change and manage corruption and everything and all that.”
