Obi said: “Investors will come back, those who left, even the young people who are today leaving will come back, we want to bring them back. 

“Nigerians are prepared to come back if they can find that they have a country to go back to, this green passport, people must be proud to use it.” 

Meanwhile, the All Progressive Peoples Congress have faulted the performance of Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi at Chatham House.

The ruling party claimed Obi was having a hard time comprehending his manifesto while delivering his speech.

APC’s Media Officer Adamu garba tweeted “While struggling to read from Teleprompter like a primary school comprehension student, Peter Obi appears not to understand what his shabby team put down from his cut-and-paste manifesto.

“Maybe the manifesto was drafted and written in Bangladeshi language.”
