It means you can change things in two years. That means if I were there, you would have seen considerable change in critical areas. I would tackle corruption head-on, and I would reduce the cost of governance. You would have seen borrowed money invested in critical areas.Also, we have a country that is in huge debt. The current administration met a debt of about N17tn; in two years, it has moved to over N170tn.The cost of debt servicing is above the budget for critical areas like health, and education. 70 percent of our primary health care centres are not functioning. I would fix our PHCs and primary schools if I were president, Obi added.Peter Obi speaks on meetings with Atiku, others Peter Obi speaks on his meeting with Atiku and other top political bigwigs.

We are talking about working together for the sake of the country. That is why I am not desperate to be President, but I am desperate to see Nigeria work.Today, nobody is producing anything. How can you do business when the interest rate is over 40%? So, we need to do the right thing, and we can do it.
