“I know you as a person, you have all the criteria, you have all the characteristics to lead this country, you have it. Nobody can deny that.”

He added that if Obi hadn’t left the PDP for LP, he would have been able to have realized his ambition to save Nigeria.

Obi on his part disclosed that the problem the nation is having is that it is not productive.
