The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi says he would not probe previous governments if elected President of the country in 2023.
The former governor of Anambra state disclosed this after unveiling his running mate, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, yesterday.
According to him, he would not be part of any witch-hunt, adding that blocking the leakage in government would get the country more resources.
Part of his statement reads,
“If you come into the government today and decide to stop the leakage first, you will get more. I am not going to be part of any form of victimisation or witch-hunt, it won’t happen. Nigerians must live within law and order.
“As for probing the past government, let me tell you: you see me argue that you can’t close your shop and be chasing thieves, those who only look at yesterday and today will miss tomorrow. God did not give us eyes at the back, mine is to look forward.
“But I can tell you right away. If you, the principal person, the local government chairman, the governor or the President are not stealing, your family is not, and those around you are not, you will reduce it by 70 per cent.
