Former governor of Anambra State and presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi, has warned the party’s delegates against selling their votes ahead of primary election.<\/p>\n

Obi<\/a> issued the warning when he met with the delegates at the party\u2019s State Secretariat in Umuahia, the Abia State capital on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He advised the delegates to think deeply about\u00a0 whom they are to choose as the party\u2019s presidential candidate as their decision would\u00a0 have impact their children’s future and those that are unborn.<\/p>\n

The former governor said he became successful in life not by embezzling public funds but rather made his fortune through genuine private enterprise and diligence.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI want to make Nigeria become productive and not be a consuming country, that is the message behind my aspiration.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy delegates, the tomorrow begins today for our children. So, if you mortgage your conscience during the presidential primary, then you should know that you have mortgaged your children\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they give you money collect but remember that any mistake you made by selling your conscience is placing your children in further bondage.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also has revealed that his presidential ambition is borne out of his interest in the younger generation of Nigerians and those yet unborn.<\/p>\n

This, he said, propelled him to present himself for the task of leading the country by ensuring the current economic situation of the country, which holds no future for its children and generations yet unborn, is salvaged.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the state PDP Chairman, Ashiforo Okere, commended the presidential aspirant for coming to identify with the delegates of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you were talking, it was like exaltation or lecture, it never appeared to be a campaign, all you have said is already known to us, especially your performance during your tenure as governor\u201d, he said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
