You must first become presidential candidate before debating with me – Peter Obi knocks Umahi

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), responded to Minister of Works Dave Umahi's debate challenge by stating that Umahi must first become a presidential candidate before inviting him to a debate. Obi likened the situation to a team qualified for the World Cup being challenged by one that failed to qualify. He was reacting after Umahi downplayed Obi's political threat to President Tinubu.
