Chief Chi Nwogu, the immediate past President General of Igbo Delegates Assembly in the 19 Northern states and Abuja, has advised Peter Obi to increase his visibility in Northern Nigeria, similar to President Tinubu's strategy before the 2023 elections.
"I want to see Peter Obi in Kano and Kaduna and other places, to see him in Kano more often, like President Tinubu did before the 2023 elections," Nwogu said. "Tinubu was coming to Kano for every occasion, both personal and official before the presidential campaigns proper. And that assisted him to secure the kind of votes he got from the states."
The Sun reported that Nwogu also urged Obi's supporters to adopt an inclusive approach, presenting Obi as a leader for all Nigerians, regardless of regional, tribal, or religious affiliations. "They should not project him as their own alone but as belonging to all. This is the time to respect other regions, tribes, and religions in Nigeria. They should not allow themselves to be dragged into avoidable controversy with any group or interest; they should remain focused until the time is ripe."
