Highlighting why Nigeria needs Peter Obi as president, the Labour Party's campaign chairman said the former governor of Anambra state has the capacity to lead the giant of Africa out of its many challenges.
He also called on youths to continue to push for a better Nigeria while stating that Obidient movement was birthed from the frustrations of the people and lack of trust for those in authority.
He added:

"But that notwithstanding, see the Obidient movement, we do not even canvass for it, nobody is financing them."
