Obi also lauded his supporters, known as Obidients, for showing restraint despite the provocation that plagued them during the general elections.

As reported by TheCable, he said:

"We were provoked during the elections, but we showed restraint, patriotism and wisdom because we were voting for a greater Nigeria and not for the destruction of Nigeria. They deployed agents who killed and maimed many, including innocent women, but we kept our cool."

Obi further urged Nigerians to:

"...keep the faith and hope in Nigeria alive. We are on this journey together, and better and happier years await all of us."
