The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Rivers State, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, has lauded former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi for his undying passion to build a better Nigeria, while describing him as one who truly understands Nigeria’s economy.
Akawor made the remarks when Obi, a presidential aspirant of the party, visited Rivers State for his interaction with the PDP family. He explained that Nigeria should be proud of people like Obi, who have remained consistent in their struggle for a better Nigeria.
“Undoubtedly, Obi is interested in the development of the country. He does not just preach about how things should be done rightly, but he shows you his track record of success in governance and tells you how he did it rightly, with verifiable evidences.

“Under him, Anambra enjoyed the best road infrastructure, while developing in all fronts. He left behind no debt and even kept a savings of N75 billion for the State, a record yet unbroken in the country. We are very proud to associate with a man like him,” Akawor said.
Outlining some of their challenges in the State, Akawor expressed gratitude that Obi had already identified some of their challenges on his own. He regretted that governments at the national level has continued to pay deaf ears to their pains.
In his comments, Obi praised the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for his infrastructural development in the State. He described Wike as his brother and friend, and appreciated him for the warm hospitality he granted him in the State.
He assured the delegates, and by extension Nigerians, that, if given the chance, he would turn the nation into a highly productive nation, where the youth are productively engaged in different endeavours and people are well rewarded for their hard work.
