Umeh made the assertion while addressing a mammoth crowd of supporters and LP stakeholders in Abagana, the headquarters of Njikoka LGA of Anambra State.

He averred that Obi's mission to become president is divine and that every Igbo man should support him, as other Nigerians of different shades of opinions are already rallying around him.

Umeh said:

"Mr. Obi stands out above other contenders, and that is why everybody is working hard to ensure that Nigeria gets the right president in the person of Peter Obi, in 2023.
"He had been governor in Anambra for 8 years, and he did very well. And that is what he is coming to replicate in Nigeria. So, Anambra State and the South East should be seen to be entirely for Peter Obi and the LP, to complement the support the rest of Nigerians are already giving him."
