His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, a frontline Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), met with delegates and leaders of the Party in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States respectively, on Monday 2nd May, 2022.
The Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State, Amb Desmond Akawor, said Nigerians should be proud to have someone like Peter Obi stating that “Undoubtedly, Obi is interested in the development of the country. He does not just preach about how things should be done rightly, but he shows you his track record of success in governance and tells you how he did it rightly, with verifiable evidences. Under him, Anambra enjoyed the best road infrastructure, while developing in all fronts. He left behind no debt and even kept a savings of N75 billion for the State, a record yet unbroken in the country. We are very proud to associate with a man like him”.
While addressing PDP Rivers delegates, Peter Obi commended the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for his infrastructural development in the State, noting that Wike is his brother and friend.
Peter Obi later moved to Akwa Ibom to meet with PDP delegates in the State. In both Rivers and Akwa Ibom States, Mr. Peter Obi told delegates that he wants to make Nigeria a productive nation. He decried the spate of insecurity in the country, which he attributed to leadership failure and failure to focus on key aspects of human capital development over the years.
