What ex-finance minister Kemi Adeosun said about Peter Obi

She said:

"Where is governor Peter Obi? He has run away? They should go and bring him for me, I need to talk to him about a few of those.."

As seen in the video, she acknowledges Peter Obi as an excellent governor and a patriotic Nigerian. She, however, noted that some of the statistics he reeled out were incorrect.

She said:

"I don't want to join issues with Governor Peter Obi, he's an excellent governor and a patriotic Nigerian.

"But a few of those things he was reading are not quite accurate."

Meanwhile, Peter Obi will be heading into the 2023 presidential election as a strong contender against Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
