Speaking to newsmen in Owerri, IMo State, on the sideliens of the PDP South East rally, Chief Nkire said Atiku needed not to worry about victory in the region, as, according to him, “it is the people of the S outh East who have called Atiku to come and save them from hunger and poverty and not the other way round.”

Nkire, who was a campaign manager of the Obasanjo/Atiku presidential election of 2003, said with Atiku as president of Nigeria, half of the country’s many problems would be solved within four years.
