Peter Obi: I’ll engage Gumi, Igboho, others through dialogue if elected president

The presidential aspirant of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr. Peter Obi stated that if he is elected as president of Nigeria, he will engage with the agitators from across the nation.

While being interviewed by Rufai Oseni on Nevon News, Obi revealed that he would meet with the Yoruba agitation leader, Sunday Igboho; the controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi; and Biafran agitators to discuss their demands.

He said, “When I’m elected, I will discuss with everybody. I’m not there to apportion blame on who is wrong or right.

“In solving this problem, I want to sit down with everybody and say, “let’s go this way”. As a president, I will sit down with people and talk and you will see it.

“I did it as governor, I brought people including traditional rulers and talked with them”.

Asked what would he do if Gumi and others fail to listen to him, Obi said, “they will listen to me, they are in the problem. How can you call someone who is sick to come to the hospital and he says he won’t come”?
