The presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi says he is richer than the President of the United States, Joe Biden, and has no reason to steal public funds.
Obi stated this while addressing Nigerians during a speaking engagement in the United States.
He said that at $8.9 million, Biden’s networth was below his.

A video of Obi’s comment is currently circulating on Twitter.
“If I take public money that I’m not entitled to, God should punish my children and me, not because of anything but God gave me enough.
“I say to people, President Biden is worth 8.9 million USD. Why should somebody like me steal public money when I am richer than the American President? I am already over-blessed by God. We just need to develop our country.
“I’m not looking for a private jet, sophisticated house or to buy a house in America because I can’t live in America.
“What we are doing is not about the normal politics or contesting elections,” Obi said.
