When Peter Obi and his party paid the traditional ruler a courtesy call at his palace in Birnin Kebbi, the king made this declaration. Emir Gwandu emphasized the value of taking Obi’s suggestions into consideration while praising him for his insights and solutions offered for Nigeria’s problems.
“I was not surprised that you are going around the country to advise us on how to make Nigeria a great nation. We have listened to your ideas on how we can harness our vast land, capable and educated youth to propel Nigeria towards greatness,” said Emir Gwandu.
He urged leaders to take heed of Obi’s suggestions for national prosperity, highlighting the need to tap into the country’s potential. Emir Gwandu emphasized the importance of recognizing Nigeria’s rich resources and the role of leadership in steering the nation towards success.
In response, Peter Obi clarified that his visit was not politically motivated but aimed at offering solutions to Nigeria’s challenges, showing respect to the Emir, and assisting people in need.

He pointed out that poverty is a significant factor contributing to criminal activities in the North, stressing the potential of engaging millions of young people through agricultural initiatives.

Investing in agriculture is crucial to overcoming the current hardships and addressing the hunger affecting about 80 million Nigerians,” Obi emphasized. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
