Peter Obi's reply: In a swift reaction, however, the spokesperson of the Obi-Datti movement, Kenneth Okonkwo, who appeared on the same platform on Tuesday morning, January 17, 2023, said the structures being bragged about by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), are those of criminality, poverty, insecurity, scarcity of fuel and bad leadership.

According to him, Obi was coming in to destroy such structures and take the country to a new height of productivity and exportation.
