Mr Okonkwo berated Mr Obi for exiting the ADC and accused the NDC presidential candidate of running away from challenges.
However, Mr Obi noted that the society “we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow”.
He also called on them to close ranks in the interest of unity.
“We politicians remain consumed by the next election, paying far more attention to political ambitions than to the safety and well-being of our children…,” said Mr Obi.
According to him, anyone seeking to lead the country must have the capacity to confront challenges.
He expressed confidence that Nigeria could overcome its challenges through efficient resource management and visionary leadership.
Security agencies have been urged to monitor politicians with divisive tendencies, following allegations against House of Representatives aspirant, Mathias Ezeaku.
She decried the alleged harassment and intimidation of dissenting voices and opposition citizens.
“This is the way to know whether everything you have said or declared is the truth and if you can answer questions posed about your commitment to building a united, secure and prosperous Nigeria,”
Mr Kwankwaso is tipped to run as the vice-presidential candidate of Mr Obi on the platform of the NDC.
