I am not saying that anyone is sick. We have been here for over two hours, we don&#8217;t want people who can&#8217;t stand for 30 minutes\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He also said that character and trust should be things to look out for in this recruitment era to avoid plunging this country into further mess, pointing out that the identity of whoever wants to lead this country must be thoroughly examined with nothing to hide.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIn United States during election, they go for debates, somebody once asked Barack Obama questions that are personal and he answered.

Both the VC today, the DVC today, these are my school mates. We came into University the same year and left the same year. The people I went to school, I can see them here today, my seniors and my juniors. How come we now have people who do not have classmate. This is very important\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The LP standard bearer said that everybody shouldn\u2019t have to go to formal education but their record must be straight. \u201cAfe Babalola once told me he never had the opportunity of going to a formal school. There is nothing wrong in that. There are so many people who have done well in life and never went to formal school&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0Obi spoke on the issue of corruption and Nigerians should watch out for person\u2019s antecedents not on what they claim they will do. \u201cIf you said you will fight corruption, let&#8217;s go to the road you have passed and see what is remaining there after you left\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0He reiterated his earlier position that, \u201cthis year&#8217;s election must be based on competence as it requires physical and mental energy, not a retirement job.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ajx\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gA gt acV\">\n<div class=\"gB xu\">\n<div class=\"ip iq\"><\/div>\n<\/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>Labour Party Presidential Candidate Mr. Peter Obi in Enugu in continuation of his countrywide campaigns arrived his alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, warning against handing over a&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
