He stated that it would be truly disappointing if the LP loses the election despite the support from labour unions.

He said, “It will be one of the most disappointing and great damage to Nigeria’s existence if Labour goes through this effort and support somebody to lead this country and it fails, God forbid.

“So for me, I want to listen, I want to take note. That note is more important to me than anything, I don’t want to tell you people any idea, I want to listen to you, my job is to listen so that you don’t go out there giving them excuses.”

Speaking further, Obi said that he has chosen to be different from other leaders by deciding to listen to what people want so that when he gets into power he puts them into effect.

He said: “ASUU is on strike for seven months, you might not know that the issue they are striking for is since 2009, it is not today and they have actually gone on so many strikes about this issue.
