A foreign media researcher who gave her name as Theresa Rice from United States of America told our reporter that her organization “became specifically interested in the Peter Obi project the moment the report of an awestruck international news reporter named her new baby ‘Peter Obi’.
“More so, having been monitoring the proceedings within the campaign camps of the major political parties and their presidential candidates who evidently appear fixated on attacking Peter Obi/Senator Datti Ahmed. Unfortunately, the more the attacks the larger the Obi support base gets.
“This is phenomenal! Literally speaking, with what’s happening here in Onitsha today, it’s now an unstoppable political movement cum revolution that has come to stay.
“I was left in shock when some of those I interviewed told me they came from the hinterland, purely on their own just to identify with the Obi Project,that they saw it as a wake up call for all fair minded patriotic citizens”
