Obi Calls His Political Rise a ‘Miracle’ and Pledges to Make the North Nigeria’s ‘New Oil’

Peter Obi reflects on his unlikely political journey, recalling how he won the Anambra governorship in 2003 under a year-old party against all odds. He overcame impeachment, returned to office after a court victory, and successfully challenged a second disputed election. Drawing on these experiences, Obi says he’s waiting for an even bigger miracle—serving as Nigeria’s president. He pledges to transform the country by focusing on the North. His plan includes investing in education and digital skills so northern states can become engines of production. Obi argues that empowering the North through learning and technology will turn its population into the nation’s “new oil.”
