The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi,
has said he knows the root of the problem in the country.
Obi stated this in Rivers State on Thursday, as he was
invited by the state governor, Nyesom Wike, to inaugurate the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo
Flyover, the ninth flyover of Wike’s administration.
Obi said the problem of Nigeria was that the country was not
productive.
He said he had surveyed the country and he knew what would
benefit every region, assuring of his commitment for a better Nigeria.
He said, “I know the problem of the country. Nigeria is not
a productive state.
“I have said it again and again that I know what to do to
benefit every part of the country. I told them in the North when we held our
campaign that we will develop their vast lands. They have the lands so we will
develop it.
“The South-West will
be our financial hub and the East will be our manufacturing base. We will
revive the sea port in Rivers so that we can be exporting from there.”
The presidential candidate
who was welcomed by a large crowd in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State
capital, urged the people of Rivers to take him as one of them, pledging
support for the people of the state.
Wike in his remark pledged to support Obi with logistics for
campaign in Rivers.
He said, “Each time you want to campaign in the state, let
me know, all the logistics support, we will give to you.
“I know you as a person, you have all the criteria, you have
all the characteristics to lead this country, you have it. Nobody can deny
that.”
Obi was accompanied to the inauguration by his running mate
Datti Baba-Ahmed.
