Ohakwe, who was previously resident in South Korea and Ghana, added that the Atiku/Obi team will be unbeatable in bringing Nigeria out of the woods.
He added that
“I decided to ride on a bike from Imo state to Abuja because of the state of the nation, how the nation is being ruled by the present government led by the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not proper, all is not well.
“I also did it for the masses, to give them hope that in 2019 there is hope for Nigeria and that hope is Alh Atiku Abubakar the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said.
Ohakwe said he did not do this for money, that
“if is for money I know how and where to get it. I did it for the masses the state of the nation is not favourable to anyone. Whether you are Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba the situation in our country today is worrisome and not favourable to all. So this is call to all Nigerians, especially the electorate not to make another mistake.
“Am also doing this because I am a beneficiary of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s kind gesture when I was in school. I benefited from his scholarship scheme while at Imo state university.”
