But overall, the company is still there. The company is still doing well. It\u2019s still part of a global chain and everything. I needed to explain it not because I\u2019m defending comments made by my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother is a brother and remains my brother. We\u2019re very close. I remain prayerful for him. Of other things which I didn\u2019t succeed, God has given him the opportunity to do it and succeed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me\u2026if there is anything pending, governance, governance you don\u2019t finish. People are still in government in America. So, you stop where you stop. Other people will continue from there. I don\u2019t look back. He is the governor of my state. He is my senior brother. He is even more intelligent than I am. He is a professor and I am a trader. He knows more. So, he will be able to do this better than I\u2019m doing it. I have done my little work as a trader. Now the professor is there, he will do his own thing as a professor. The schools that I didn\u2019t roof, you roof them. That\u2019s our government goes,\u201d the LP presidential candidate said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, has reacted to the strongly-worded letter which Governor Charles Soludo wrote about his 2023 ambition.
