Obi said, “We can’t allow this gangsterism to continue, Nigerians should take back their country. Seventy per cent of those who are in politics today should not have any reason to be there. I have said it, politics in Nigeria is a case where lunatics have taken over the asylum.

“This is the only country where the worst is leading. I was a trader and gradually entered into politics. When you take far more than you need you are sick”. jamb results

“How do you explain that one person took N80 billion. It is not greed, it is sickness. When you take N1 billion that is greed but when you take N80 billion, that is sickness. Mad people have taken over our politics.”

Obi said a third force can wrest power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“It is about the people. When I contested as governor in Anambra I did so in a small party. People told me that I had no structure. People are the structure. When I was a governor in Anambra, my party had no state or federal lawmakers.

“When I left as governor no state was as financially stable as Anambra. We were not owing anybody.

“The people will decide who will rule them. Luckily we have eight months, let people come and tell you how they have started. Come and tell us, don’t use people or glossy paper, tell us from your mouth so that we can hold you to account,” he added.
