Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has directed the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi to declare his assets ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The rights group made this call in a statement posted on its official Twitter handle.
In a series of tweets, SERAP directed its call to all the presidential candidates ahead of the February 2023 presidential election to urgently publish details of thier assets and liabilities.
The group also called on the presidential candidates to publicly commit to rejecting vote buying and electoral bribery before and during the elections.
However, Obi, a former governor of Anambra state has yet to make a public declaration of his assets as directed by SERAP.
But, prior to the call of SERAP, Obi has been critical of the system, government of Nigeria particularly the economy, saying Nigeria has remained a consuming country instead of producing nation.
Obi has constantly blamed the challenges confronting Nigeria on poor leadership and lack of vision by the people occupying leadership positions.
Obi believes Nigeria is heavily endowed with talented and willing youth population, who, according to him, are hindered by the old people.
Obi also advocates that young people, full of energy and talents, should be given a space create opportunities for the poor in the country to earn a living.
Dear @PeterObi Ahead of the February 2023 presidential election, we're again calling on you to show leadership by urgently publishing details of your assets and publicly rejecting vote-buying and electoral bribery before and during the elections.
