Okonjo Iweala, Obi make Case for Nigeria in the USA

The Coordinating Minister for the Economy and the Minister of a Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala said that the present Government in Nigeria, led by Dr. Ebele Goodluck Jonathan was trying everything possible to sustain the growth recorded by the Country. She was speaking during the presentation by McKinsey Global Institute, of the study about Nigeria entitled: Nigeria's Renewal: Delivering Inclusive Growth in African's Largest Economy at the New York Palace Hotel.

Reeling out measures under Jonathan's Transformation Agenda to turn Nigeria around, Iweala called on investors to come to Nigeria for the abundance of investment opportunities and favorable returns on investment.

Speaking at the event, the former Governor of a Anambra State, accompanied by his former Commissioner for Planning and Budget/Chief of Staff, Prof. Chinyere Okunna, said that President Goodluck Jonathan was on the right paths towards the growth of the Nigeria's economy. He said that though most of the measures taken by Jonathan had long gestation period, but that very soon Nigerians would start seeing the impact of his many revolutionary polices such as the fruits of the privatization of power distribution, support for Small and Medium Enterprises, support for local manufacturers such as INNOSON Motor Manufacturing ltd, among other measures.

Speaking further, Obi said that the new policy on Agriculture was worthy of commendation as it has reduced the country's import of agricultural produce. "The way we are moving on Agriculture, I have no doubt that Nigeria had made a bold move towards food sufficiency", Obi said.

This man is likely to take over from GEJ in 2019. The most front-line Igbo politician and a technocrat..

Peter Obi is very sellable as presidential candidate..I wonder why they have always been loud promotion of the unsophisticated Kalu Orji

The only problem will be the usual infighting--- my village is bigger than yours---

Peter Obi is very close to GEJ and corridors of power. The chances of Obi succeeding GEJ is being brightened as the day passes..

Where is the case they are making for the nation? Maybe different from the one they've been making before.

doubt a SE person will vie for presidency for a long time immediately after GEJ...being close to GEJ is an obstacle actually..hesn ot a king maker Obi should make alliance with people from all over the country not just GEJ who is likely to leave everyone in the lurch after his tenure...he got there by 'accident' remember?

Have you ever heard of "political anointing"?

LOL

certainly, BY a political heavyweight not an accidental politician....

I just like the way some people kept under-estimating GEJ. Do you see the vicious manner he is dismantling and clipping the wings of the north and his oppositions? Just keep watching as the events unfolds..

That guy GEJ is a silent mover..

The same way the north will be an obstacle if he chooses to impose a candidate....Obj didnt even consider someone from his region as it was an obvious PDP agreement

Though GEJ is from SS while Obi is from SE! Well let us just watch as the situation unveil itself..
