Speaking during the 4th graduation ceremony of Nexford University, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi said that the entire country has been turned into a crime scene.

He said there is a need for quality leadership to manage the affairs of the country, adding that graduates should become change agents in their communities.

“For governance, don’t think when we talk about vices, it is only yahoo boys… but there are actually more in government than there are outside because we have turned the entire country into a crime scene where people inside are stealing and people outside are stealing,” he said.

“It is about leadership and igniting the future. It is not rocket science but it is difficult. It is being able to have a strong character, the ability not to do the wrong thing.

“It is for you to help to bring a better change in that society that you want to live in. You have acquired knowledge today.Use what you have learnt to help us change society.

“You are a victim of Nigeria because our age and the age before has refused to do what is right and you are suffering for it.”
