He said that his recent efforts to provide clean water to a portion of Nigeria go beyond political affinities. He called for a collective shift in focus towards matters that directly affect people’s welfare. He states that his main objective is to address these issues regardless of political differences.
A few weeks ago, Peter Obi commissioned Boreholes that he donated to some Northern Communities. The project is expected to ameliorate the suffering and water needs of those communities. The Northern part of Nigeria suffers a lack of water supply with farmers recording poor crop harvests as a result.
