Speaking to Journalists after the closed door meeting, Obi said he was in Ibadan to discuss on the way forward for the country.
Peter Obi acknowledged the progress made so far in the last 62 years after independence but insisted that a lot more still need to be done to take Nigeria out of the present challenges.
The Labour Party Presidential candidate also called on political leaders to build structure aimed at alleviating the suffering of the masses rather than dwelling on sentiments that would not drive development.
