Obi continued his message that the vast arable land in the North remains the future gold and oil of Nigeria which if he and Datti are elected will see a new and vibrant Nigeria.
He also said that Nigeria has no business being the poverty capital of the world with all the potentials of human and natural endowment freely given to us by God.

His words: “For us, education is an investment and we will do everything to educate the populace because without education we cannot pull people out of poverty which is our goal if given the mandate”.
