OBI on Channels TV ๐บ: Politics Today.
SEUN: Mr. Peter Obi, Atiku said so many things about you. He said it would take a miracle for you to win the election. Whatโs your take on that?
Atiku said it would take a miracle for you to win?
OBI: Well, my political journey has been a miracle. So many things have happened in my life that people never thought would be possible.
In 2003, I contested the Anambra governorship election under a party that was just one year old. People said it would take a miracle for me to win that election, but I won.
Six months later, I was impeached. I challenged the impeachment in court. People said it would be impossible for me to return to office, that no governor had ever returned to office after impeachment. They said it would take a miracle for me to win the case in court, but I won the case.
I came back to office and, in 2007, another election was conducted and Andy Uba was declared the winner. I went to court again to seek the interpretation of our laws. I told the court that the tenure of a governor is four years and that I should be allowed to complete my tenure. People said it would take a miracle for me to win that case, but I won.
So, my political journey has been like a miracle, and Iโm waiting for the bigger miracle to happen.
SEUN: Alright. Atiku also said that 90% of Northerners are not on social media, so he is not bothered about your popularity online. Whatโs your take on that?
OBI: Well, thatโs the problem I am coming to solve as President of Nigeria. I have said it before: the North will become our new oil. I will convert that population into wealth through education and production.
I will invest in education so that those who do not know how to use the internet in the North will learn how to use it. The North is our new oil.

@TouchlineX If City tops the league by 22 March, Arteta and Arsenal will have nothing to play for. They have to maintain their lead at the Premier league table.
