Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said he won\u2019t abandon Nigeria if war breaks out in the country.<\/p>\n

Obi said he prefers to die in Nigeria if war should break out than to be a free man in another country.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this during a virtual interactive session with more than 1,000 members of his foremost support group, the Peter Obi Support Network.<\/p>\n

The former Anambra State governor said he deliberately avoided obtaining resident permit and citizenship rights from other countries because he believes in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to Obi: \u201cWhen I left the UK after residing there for over 10 years, I returned everything that belonged to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a singular focus on Nigeria, and I do not think I need the citizenship or residence rights of any other country when I haven\u2019t finished exploiting my nature-given rights and privileges as a Nigerian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I am out of Nigeria today and there is a war in Nigeria, I will find a way to return to Nigeria because I will rather die in my country, Nigeria, than live free in another man\u2019s country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presidential candidate appealed to Nigerians in the diaspora to contribute to the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
