Hon Nwaobi who is the Chairman, House Committee on Sports and Youths Development said the present APC federal government does not have the magic wand to turn around the economy of Nigeria even though Former President Goodluck Jonathan handed a country with the best economy in Africa things have gotten worse as Nigerians could hardly feed while the exchange rate had skyrocketed .
While stressing that Nigerians should be weary of the political antics of the APC and the postponement of the election, Hon. Nwaobi urged Nigerians to keep faith with the PDP and all its candidates in other to get the country working again.
