Obi made the comment during an interview on News Central TV, where he reflected on his movement across political platforms and the broader lessons he has drawn from both local and international experiences.
Explaining why he has moved between parties over the years, Obi used a personal incident abroad to illustrate his point about unpredictability even in seemingly stable systems. “Even in the UK where everything is safe I have bought a brand new car and it was stolen,not even in Nigeria,” he said.
