The interview with Asher was eventually granted on Friday evening after it had twice been postponed.
The Labour Party Presidential candidate was asked during the interview if he would tackle Nigeria’s biggest challenges, corruption and insecurity.
Obi answered, with a competent leader who has the needed “capacity and commitment”, corruption and insecurity can be checked.
He said: “If you have a leader that is competent, has the capacity and commitment to start dealing with it, you are not going to solve it overnight but there is going to be a clear visible attempt to dealing with it.
“They are things that can be dealt with decisively. You also need to have a leader that has done this in the past.”
Obi also said that the problem of security has to be properly taken care of before the economy of Nigeria can reach its deserved height.
“You have to deal decisively with the issue of security, it is impacting negatively on the economy today; you have to deal with it headlong because you have to get the farmers to go back to the farm by ensuring that the vast land in the north are invested,” he said.
