The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has said that what happened to the Titanic is what is happening in Nigeria.
Obi said that while Titanic was going down, people on the upper deck were busy dancing until the whole thing collapsed, claiming it is happening now in the country.
According to the former Anambra State Governor, the ongoing situation in Nigeria can be compared to the Titanic, as he said that Nigerian leaders, with their ostentatious lifestyles, are acting like the country is not going through difficulties.
He stated this in an interview with Arise News, while discussing the state of Nigeria as the country celebrated Democracy Day, marking its 25th year practicing democracy on Wednesday.
“You’re supposed to show a clear plan, it is not enough to say we’re going to go through problems. If we’re going to go through problems, this is very simple.
“I always say what happened to the Titanic is what is happening in Nigeria. While it was going down, people on the upper deck were busy dancing until the whole thing collapsed, that’s what is happening now.
“We should change and do things rightly. We can change and manage corruption and everything and all that.”
