A statement by Obi’s Spokesperson, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, explained that the visits are the continuation of of the commitment of the former governor of Anambra State’s commitment “to live up to his expressed commitment to the peace and progress of the nation.”

The statement noted that this is part of Obi’s “abiding devotion to the emergence of a Nigeria that works for all its peoples and where the people are quickly pulled out of poverty.”

According to the statement: “At the centre of discussion during each of these visits was the state of the nation and how to reduce the suffering of all Nigerians irrespective of class and location.

“In particular, the desperate condition of the downtrodden in our midst was highlighted.

“Of particular interest and emphasis in these discussions was the worrisome situation in the northern parts of the country.”
