He promised economic stability to the traders who came out in their numbers to welcome him.
Some chieftains of the LP who came with the former Anambra State Governor expressed optimism that with the level of reception Obi is getting from several parts of the country, he will win this month’s presidential election.

Obi who enjoys huge youth followership is battling it with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Nigeria’s number one seat.
With less than ten days to the presidential and National Assembly elections, political parties and their candidates are crisscrossing the country wooing voters and giving reasons they should be voted.
