“This year’s election, they will come to you with religion, tribe and money, but tell them you are hungry. Collect the money they will give to you because it is your money and vote for us.
“We can build a Nigeria where everybody is happy. They have campaigned with umbrellas and brooms for over 16 years now but only achieved insecurity and economic woes. This is the time of the youth. Now go and vote for our symbol, father, mother and child’ to connect party politics with the people.”
He said his ticket with Baba-Ahmed will guarantee a proper place for the youth and charge them to mobilise themselves for the election.
Obi and his entourage had earlier visited the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, in his palace.
