Nigeria is in serious condition, and Peter Obi can't be the solution. He's a good man, but won't become a good president. If I'm to vote based on the current situation of Nigeria, I will vote for those who have already shown capabilities and capacity at the national echelon. People like Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi remains one of the best governors in the history of this country. What has Obi done to convince people, aside from regional politics, that he's playing a role that will soon die away? Either Amaechi or Atiku, these guys for me are good to go because Aso Rock Villa is not for comedians.

By merely looking at his face, you will believe with me that Kwankwaso is tired of all the political drama of changing parties like a chameleon.
