Obi claimed that Atiku was pre-occupied on how to create jobs, reduce unemployment in Nigeria, abolish poverty and re-create the Nigerian economy in order to make Nigeria to start working again.

He said: “His trip is about engaging partners because he wants to hit the ground running without wasting unnecessary time.”
