From Nwabugwu  Obikwelu, Awka

Former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has said that he has done enough consultations and is convinced that he possesses the quality Nigerians need as president.

Obi was the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election.

He was reacting to the insinuations that it appeared he joined the race late and that he was at the flag-off of his former principal, Atiku Abubakar, when he flagged off his campaign last week in Abuja.

But Obi dismissing these said he has consulted widely and had received positive responses. 

“All the big names you have mentioned, I have consulted them. I believe I have assembled a team that will lead Nigeria together, that can secure Nigeria.

“I believe I can turn around the fortunes of this country for the better. I can assemble leaders that can assist me do that too. 

“You know how efficient I managed our resources when I was governor. The facts have not been extinguished. They are there for all to judge from.”

The business mogul turned politician said that he believes and has demonstrated his leadership abilities before Nigerians, promising to do more if given the opportunity.

Obi said: “I can promote business. I have created and managed wealth as a private person. 

“I have also done that in public life and have been ahead as governor of Anambra State”.

Reacting on his presence at Atiku Abubakar’s declaration in Abuja, he said: “In Igbo apprenticeship scheme, you join your master, and after your master settles you, you begin to do what your master did. 

“Both of you are now in the same trade so that customers will either buy from the master or from the apprentice. 

“He was my master but now I have been settled and we indulge in the same trade. You see, there is nothing wrong or belittling in showing solidarity with him. I also play politics without bitterness which is what I encourage every politician to adopt”.

Obi emphasised the need to elect leaders that can show transparency while in office, pointing out that the electorate should elect people who have exhibited the desire for accountability. That is what will make our country grow and exit the present economic predicament it has found itself in.
