Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi has urged Nigerians to set aside historical grievances and conflicts in order to unite the nation, during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show. The call came in response to questions about the 1966 military coup, which resulted in the deaths of numerous political and military leaders, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
