“Vote people with integrity not people who do not know where their certificates are nor people whose ages are controversial.
“Some of them, you cannot even trace their sources of livelihood and those are not the type of candidates Nigeria need at the moment.
“If they bring their money and ask you to vote for them, collect the money because it is your money that they stole and then vote for us.”
Obi also urged the people to vote for young people who have the strength and capacity to face the rigours of governance rather than old people.
