Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), had spoken so much about his work plan for Nigeria if he emerges victorious during the 2023 elections.
The former governor of Anambra state seems to have an in-depth knowledge of how to fix the country's economy through a sustained chain of production and exportation.
