He said: “Nigerians have suffered enough in the midst of plenty. Peter Obi is the answer to Nigerians’ prayers, and we believe in considering his antecedents as the governor of Anambra.
“When Obi started talking on the solution to Nigeria’s problem, I saw it was possible to solve this problem. It is all about commitment and sincerity.
“Many of our leaders are not sincere even to themselves. Look at the recent eight months ASUU strike; they were not concerned because their children are in different schools outside Nigeria. They continue to punish the poor masses by bringing down our educational standard.”
