ABUJA — The media office of the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has said the former Anambra State governor can lead efforts to address Nigeria’s challenges, citing his record in office.
In a statement on Monday, the spokesperson for the Peter Obi Media Office, Idris Zekeri, said Obi’s experience in Anambra State provided an indication of his approach to governance and public resources.
The statement was issued in response to recent comments by the former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, that no single individual, including Obi, could rescue Nigeria from its challenges.
According to Zekeri, while Baba-Ahmed’s position reflected concerns about the scale of the country’s problems, the media office believed that Obi’s record demonstrated his capacity to contribute to addressing them.
