Former Governor of Anambra State and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2019 presidential election, Dr. Peter Obi, has asked Nigerians not to worry for too long in search for solution to their national problems as he is solution himself.

He said as a trader, who operates in the corporate world and a former governor in the country, he has considerable antecedents that put him in better standing to fix the country.

Dr. Obi said Nigerians should stop looking for consensus candidate but should look for “problem solvers’’ as presidential materials for 2023, adding he is the candidate that Nigeria needs to solve its problems.

The PDP’s presidential aspirant made this known in Abakaliki on Tuesday, while addressing newsmen during his consultation with PDP faithful in the Ebonyi State capital.

“Nigerians want a person who will start solving the myriad of problems facing the country.

“They want someone who will secure lives and property; make the country productive; pull the citizens out of poverty, among other capabilities.

“This is not an issue of delegates because those with large numbers of delegates are still affected by the nation’s problems,’’ he said.

Dr. Peter Obi stressed that the sentiment of consensus candidate should not be brought to the front burner at this time in the nation’s political history, adding that the geopolitical zone of a candidate should not also amount to much as “what Nigeria needs is to salvage the country.”

“It is important to consider where people come from in a diverse country such as ours for equity’s sake.

“The country, however, needs someone now who will start creating wealth to make the economy viable.

“I can fix this country having a record of being a trader, of operating in the corporate world, and being a governor among other antecedents,’’ he said.

Obi clarified issues concerning his earlier support for fellow aspirant, Alhaji Abubakar, whom he described as a unifier.

“The PDP has credible aspirants who can lead the country and solve its problems,’’ Obi stressed.
