Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has dismissed claims that he asked Nigerian military personnel to reject the salary increase. According to a statement by Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR), the claims are fabrications by the opponents of the NDC presidential flag-bearer. “I have consistently advocated for the adequate provision of equipment, motivation, and protection for our security personnel. “Our soldiers are deserving of our utmost respect, unwavering support, and a government that will unequivocally stand by them. The realisation of a new and secure Nigeria is indeed possible.”
