The founder and publisher of Oviation Magazine noted that the former vice president had been running his business, investing in education and agriculture, saying it is a good example of what a leader should be.
He said: “I said the best choice would be my candidate. Which is what I expect the ‘Obidents’ to say, which I expect those who are supporting Rotimi Amaechi to say, there is nothing wrong with that.

“I’m looking at number one, the numbers. This game is a game of number. And the people who are most agreed today are from northern part of Nigeria.
“And if you listened to Wike very well, they are all campaigning that the next President should still come from southern Nigeria. But they know very well that there is no Southerner today. The only one who could have attempted it is Wike. And since he’s already supporting Tinubu.
“The moment you see people waging a campaign of calumny against Atiku, you must know he poses a great threat.
“Even my brother ( Daniel Bwala), who is about to come on now, I listened to him a few days ago appealing to Atiku to come and join their team.”
