The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has promised to spend his holidays within Nigeria rather than travel abroad if elected president in 2027.
Obi made the pledge in his Independence Day address in Abuja on Thursday, explaining that he intends to use his four-year tenure to visit different parts of the country, engage citizens and understand their challenges firsthand.
He said, “As I have always done, I will lead by example. In four years as president of this great nation, I will not spend my holidays outside Nigeria. My holidays will be spent in Zamfara, Borno, Kwara, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti and other Nigerian states.”
The former Anambra governor added that he wanted to experience the country, interact with its people and appreciate their struggles and resilience.
He also promised to introduce measurable and accountable governance, with a focus on improving citizens’ welfare, security and productivity.
