Umeh said:

"Mr. Obi stands out above other contenders, and that is why everybody is working hard to ensure that Nigeria gets the right president in the person of Peter Obi, in 2023.
"He had been governor in Anambra for 8 years, and he did very well. And that is what he is coming to replicate in Nigeria. So, Anambra State and the South East should be seen to be entirely for Peter Obi and the LP, to complement the support the rest of Nigerians are already giving him."
