Obi Challenges Other Candidates
Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has dared other party flag bearers who condemn his statistics on Nigeria to present their own argument.
Obi threw the challenge while he and the national leadership of his party received Valentine Ozigbo who recently defected to LP.
Ozigbo, a business mogul, was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2021 Anambra governorship election.
The former governor of Anambra state accused other presidential candidates of poking holes in his theories without presenting their side of the argument.
Obi argued that data and information are important during political campaigns and in governance.
