There is no doubt that Obi has be the most youthful of the top four presidential candidates and this may explain just one reason why the youths seem to warm up to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\">Much of Peter Obi\u2019s messages are often geared towards youths and once again he urged them to take their stand and to take their country back.This came while he spoke at Ado Ekiti during his campaign in Ekiti State where he also emphasized the importance of commitment, capacity and character in the forthcoming elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\">It is clear his appeal to youth and agility may offend some contestants. He specifically frowned at people who are already in their 70s fighting to get into Aso Rock. The elections are less than 7 weeks away and it is looking like quite an interesting election indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Omnipolitico (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
