I watched Peter Obi's interview with Reuben Abati and co., he was practically begging them to focus on substantial issues, not on El Rufai's allegations or Atiku's meeting in Dubai or Atiku's plane being searched.
He knows his numbers. #GNWA.

Peter Obi has a down to earth way of passing across his message, "I have been a trader all my life", "I wouldn't be as big today as I am if I didn't have access to credit, so I believe in borrowing, but what are you borrowing for"? #GNWA
He drew their attention to the Eurobond road show - what projects are they raising bonds for? He questioned the N12 trillion "spent on capital projects" - when important roads like the Apapa Port road and the Lagos - Ibadan Expressway are yet to be fixed. #GNWA.
On pricing of petroleum products he was very clear; "let market forces decide".
On APC's claim that PDP is "corrupt", he retorted, "how come that Nigeria's ranking by Transparency International has fallen under the so-called saints in APC"?

He was clear on the minimum wage issue - doesn't make sense for Lagos & say, Katsina to pay the same minimum wage; also talked about its impact on businesses and hence employment (illustration from his mother's restaurant or an SME owner in his village). #GNWA
In summary, he is an asset to PDP's ticket; very few politicians have the same track record in business and government. #GNWA
