The presidential aspirant also promised to restore the nation’s past glory by turning the economy into a productive one as against a consuming economy, adding that it’s only through economic transformation that jobs would be created for the army of jobless youths.

Peter Obi who reminded the people of Calabar of the status of their city as former capital of Nigeria, also promised to restore the lost glory of the city by making a tourism hub of Africa.
