Mr Obi was attending an interactive session for the presidential candidates in Kaduna organised by a joint committee of Arewa groups in the build of the 2023 general election.
Popular Kaduna Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, on Monday, hosted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmad, at his residence in Kaduna.
The programme, which started on Saturday, was attended by Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Kola Abiola of the Peoples Redemption Party , and Adewale Adeboye of the Social Democratic Party . Responding, Mr Gumi greeted Mr Obi for the visit which he described as a great honour by the presidential candidate who came and briefed him about his plan for Nigeria.
“How are you going to deal with the issue of polarity and agitations across Nigeria, every region is agitating because people are not happy, how are you going to make these people happy under one table? He said “restructuring is a constitutional issue, we need to bring everyone on board and discuss the way forward. In a democracy, consultations, dialogue and consensus give people the impetus and sense of belonging and that is what is lacking.
