Peter Obi vows zero tolerance for criminality as president

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has declared he won't tolerate any form of criminality as president of Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Trust TV, Obi specifically addressed fuel subsidy implementation, calling it "organized crime."

The former presidential candidate questioned Nigeria's fuel consumption figures, noting that Pakistan – a country of similar size with potentially more vehicles and roads – consumes only a third of Nigeria's reported fuel volume. "The amount of fuel they say we consume cannot be consumed by this country," Obi stated, adding "Who is drinking the balance?"

This statement positions Obi as taking a hardline stance against corruption in the fuel sector, a persistent issue affecting Nigerian consumers for decades. As Nigeria approaches the 2027 presidential election, how will Obi's zero-tolerance approach to criminality in government influence your voting decisions?
