He said: “My followers and supporters known as Obidient Movement are made up of Nigerians who are very angry and furious over the pitiable state of their country and want an immediate change.

“We are aware of infiltration by opponents just to discredit but some are genuinely angry and distressed at the situation of things in the country. All I do is to appeal to them.”

The former governor of Anambra State, who suspended his presidential campaign last week to enable him empathise with victims of flooding in some states, further vowed to lead Nigerian youths “in their aspiration to take back their country and rebuild it”.
