The revered monarch, who told Obi that his reputation preceded him, said there were temptations in the presidency.<\/p>\n

Oba Ewuare spoke when he received Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, in his palace, NAN reports.<\/p>\n

Noting that it is believed that Obi was only popular on social media, the king said his findings showed the support spread across.<\/p>\n

The traditional ruler added that the Benin throne had been apolitical from time immemorial and would remain that way.<\/p>\n

At the Baptist Convention Ground, Obi told supporters he was ready to rebuild the country.<\/p>\n

The former Anambra governor said if elected President, Nigerians would no longer go to bed hungry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about you (the youths). With you, we will take back this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will stop people from looting the nation\u2019s treasury. Labour Party will stop nepotism\u201d, he promised.<\/p>\n
