He warned that the 2023 election should not be based on religion, or ethnicity but on an agenda to save Nigeria which he said is in a coma.
He added:
“This election will not be based on ‘my turn’, ethnicity, and religion. It will be based on a Nigerian agenda to save this Nigeria. Nigeria is in a coma, and it needs a specialist, and that is why I’m offering to save its life or it will die.
"I’m appealing to people to vote to save Nigeria, and to save Nigeria is to hire the best.
“Nigeria is in a coma and needs an expert to save it. I am appealing to Nigerians to vote for me as the best man for the job and not because of primitive consideration."
Obi further added that he does not want the electorates in the country to vote for him because he is of the southeast extraction but based on what he can deliver to the Nigerian populace.
