“With your support, I will fight corruption and block all areas of revenue leakages.

“We will stop the wastages in government and start saving to rebuild our country.

“Opposition says I am stingy, but nobody has accused me or my running mate of corruption,’’ he said.

Obi restated his resolve to fight poverty as a way of reducing crimes.

“We must start pulling our people out of poverty because the more you reduce poverty the more you reduce crime,’’ he said.

The presidential candidate said he would work with traditional rulers to address security challenges facing Nigeria.
