Obi acknowledged the importance of prayers in seeking solutions to the security challenges but stressed that prayers must be complemented by effective government action.

He said those who consider Tinubu and the APC unbeatable were underestimating the power of Nigerian voters, insisting that the outcome would be determined by the votes cast by the electorate.

According to him, Obi could secure at least 90 per cent of the votes in the region in 2027, as many voters believe the Federal Government has failed to address the South-East’s developmental concerns.

“The last time we declared our intent, we said pedestrian thinking has to stop and system-based thinking should now be the case. We should stop business as usual and bring new ideas to the table,” Agboola said.

Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr Peter Obi, on Tuesday arrived in Jos, Plateau State, ahead of his solidarity visit to Mangu Local Government Area, following the recent deadly attack on communities in the area.
