"Investors will come back, those who left, even the young people who are today leaving will come back, we want to bring them back.
"Nigerians are prepared to come back if they can find that they have a country to go back to, this green passport, people must be proud to use it."
Corruption is Nigeria's biggest bane
Promising that corruption which has become the order of the day in Nigeria will be reduced to its barest minimum, Obi said all Nigerians must be involved in the task to end it.
His words:
"We will fight and stop corruption. The first thing about stopping corruption is yourself. If you're not involved, your wife is not involved, your family is not involved, and those around you are not involved, you reduce it (corruption) by over 50 per cent.
"And that's what I am going to do and I am sure of course you know that we are committed. We can't disappoint these youths, we must build a new Nigeria."
