Presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has said if elected as Nigerian President, he would negotiate with agitators from different parts of the country.

In an interview on Nevon News hosted by Rufai Oseni, Obi said he would sit down with the Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi and Biafra agitators for negotiation.

He said, “When I’m elected, I will discuss with everybody. I’m not there to apportion blame on who is wrong or right.

“In solving this problem, I want to sit down with everybody and say, “let’s go this way”. As a president, I will sit down with people and talk and you will see it.

“I did it as governor, I brought people including traditional rulers and talked with them”.

Asked what would he do if Gumi and others fail to listen to him, Obi said, “they will listen to me, they are in the problem. How can you call someone who is sick to come to the hospital and he says he won’t come”?
