    Peter Obi is the only presidential aspirant that has a clear vision of how to save Nigeria from the brink of disintegration. He has a good knowledge and understanding of resource management, wealth creation and public administration. A vote for Peter Obi is a breath of fresh air into the lives of Nigerians
