Obi, also criticized the 2026 Electoral Act, saying it was shameful to exclude forgery as a crime in the Act.
Obi spoke during a 60 -minute interview on Magic FM Aba, Abia State.
He, however, described himself as the most qualified among the current presidential aspirants in the country, noting that the Federal Government’s top priority was to ensure he does not participate in the 2027 race.
His words, “The present government is bent on making sure I am not a candidate for any party.
“It is very shameful for Nigeria that the new Electoral Laws assented to by the President excluded forgery as a crime."
According to Obi, Nigeria’s economic crises and leadership challenges require the intervention of someone with experience in business and general administration.
