He openly questioned the APC's decision not to nominate Osinbajo, stating, "I'm desperate to see Nigeria work. I don't hide it any day, any time. I even confronted APC, if you want it to work, why didn't you bring Osinbajo?
"Let's have the place working for everybody so that we can have people who want to work for the country and are healthy and good."
While acknowledging that the current candidate possesses the capability to fulfil the role, Obi emphasised the need for someone who is consistently engaged with the responsibilities of leadership, remarking, "the person they brought out today, It's not as if he cannot do it... 20 years ago, maybe, because the country needs someone that's 24 hours working."
