He said:
"Nigeria is about to hire the next CEO of the enterprise called Nigeria and this is the only thing we have to sell.
"And I plead with you mothers because what we are going through today as a country, you will not believe it. Our country is collapsing and you can save it. You mothers are the ones that will suffer more if it goes wrong.
Past records of every 2023 presidential candidate
Obi also advised the women to ensure they check the past records of all the presidential candidates and how they worked with women in during their time as leaders in various capacities.
His words:
"I believe in women and I believe that you can save the country, so for me, if anybody is coming to tell you what he is coming to do tomorrow, let's start from what he did yesterday. Let's start from his past, let's start with where he is coming from.
"I have served in various ways in the cooperate industry and I want you to go and check my records there but because of want of time, I want to talk about the way I work with women as a governor. That is where we will start.
"I had a female deputy governor, my chief of staff was a woman, my commissioner for planning was a woman, my commissioner for local government was a woman, my commissioner for education was a woman, my accountant general of Anambra state, a woman, and commissioner for finance, a woman. I can go on and on and tell you how I work with women."
