His words: “Now you need to fix food for the House but because you have too many Cousins visiting, you refuse to cook because it will cost too much money. Thus everyone goes hungry including your children. O.k. for the feeding of the House instead of buying vegetables and fruits, meat and fish, to save money, you prefer that your household should eat Eba most of the time, after all people survive on Eba.
“So what is the value of savings? Is it not to solve human problem? What I need to hear from Peter Obi is NOT how he saves money when people are manifestly in need but how he used or uses money SAVED or UNSAVED to solve the problems of people.
“A miserly and stingy leader in issues appertaining to money use will not be generous in appreciation, understanding , ideas, innovation, accommodation and compassion.
“That’s not the type of man I want for President in a nation vastly in need of human compassion and human generosity.
“The man I want for President is a sincere, sober and compassionate leader who uses money to solve human problems because he cares not just a money saver , certainly not a leader who looks at the figures of his savings and derives boastful joy because they are high”, the Constitutional lawyer added.
