“I cannot be certain. What matters is that we are committed to a cause. I keep wondering how we ended up in this situation and what might happen if we decide to stop working on this project.”

Obi, who previously ran under the Labour Party, reaffirmed his commitment to his goals, stressing that reported threats have not deterred him.

He praised his supporters for their resilience, noting the challenges of operating in opposition politics in Nigeria.

“I thank you for your sacrifice. It’s not easy to be in the opposition in Nigeria, and I’m thankful to those who keep supporting even when there’s no clear reward,” he said.

He also acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding future political alliances, adding, “How can we be certain that the people we’re working with right now won’t leave us behind tomorrow? I wish we could be sure, but we can’t.”
