Mr Obi spoke during the LP presidential campaign rally held at the Michael Okpara Square, Enugu on Thursday.
The former governor of Anambra State suggested that Mr Tinubu and Atiku were too old and lacked the requisite energy to govern Nigeria in 2023.
“Of all the major presidential candidates – we are three. Two have come and gone. If you go and check their age, the first one is in his 70’s, the second one, nobody knows his actual age,” he said. “But if you compare them with two of us if you merge our age and divide it by two, we are in our 50’s,” Mr Obi stated, suggesting that he and his running mate were much younger than the two other candidates.
The former governor added that his administration would end police harassment in Nigeria and focus on recruiting youths into various levels of the country’s security agencies to fight insecurity. The first civilian governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, asked people of the state and the South-east to vote for Mr Obi, saying his candidacy was in line with equity, justice and fairness.
Mr Nwodo, who is also the Coordinator of Southern Nigeria and Middle Belt Forum, said the “massive endorsement” of the LP candidate was not only because he is an Igbo man but also as a “handiwork of God.”Afam Ugwuani, a resident of Enugu State told PREMIUM TIMES that the LP candidate has the capacity to deliver on his promises to the people.
