He said the people against the candidacy of Obi are those who have the structure of criminality and corruption.
“As I’m talking to you, even the northerners are endorsing him, everybody is endorsing him.
“The only people that cannot endorse Peter Obi are people who are corrupt, people who have decided to destroy this country, people who have decided that suffering should be the way of this country. That’s the only people who cannot endorse Peter Obi,” he said.
