He charged the chairman of the Southern Governors Forum to continue taking every necessary step to protect his people.Obi said, “I urge you to continue in that direction. You represent one of those things Nigerians desire; the ability to speak the truth no matter the consequences.
“What is lacking in Nigeria is that we choose to keep quiet when things are going wrong. You have a man here who always speaks when things are going wrong, and I urge you to continue.
“Arm those special security poeple. Take every step to protect your people. It is important and it is your duty. I’m happy that you are speaking out always when necessary.
May God Almighty continue to be with you and bless all of you.”While condoling the governor over the death of his mother, the LP presidential candidate prayed to God to grant the deceased eternal rest.
