Loading ...Speaking on Arise TV, Okechukwu described Obi as a leader who has the capacity to lead a culturally and religiously diverse nation like Nigeria. He mentioned that Obi, with his great understanding of finance and economy, was already a billionaire before venturing into politics.
“Peter Obi was already a successful multi billionaire before he became Governor. He became Governor and performed excellently well. He greatly cut down the cost of governance and saved money for the State. He also disposed of security votes by sending directly to the communities to manage by themselves.
“Obi also has strong national network, and more importantly, he has great international networks. He is one of the few Nigerians that will fly into London on his own and the Mayor of London will invite him over for tea. So he clearly stands out”, Okechukwu said.
