"In Nigeria, politicians pay youths N20,000 to insult those advocating for their future on social media" - Peter Obi

Labour party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has said that politicians in Nigeria run ‘’transactional politics'' where they go as far as paying youths to insult anyone advocating for a better future for all Nigerians.

While speaking at an event at Johns Hopkins, Washington, DC, Obi said;

‘’People pay them to cause confusion. As I am here now, go to social media. All those that are being paid N20, 000 or N40, 000 monthly are youths whom you are fighting for their lives because at over 60, I have just few years to go but we can get it right.''
