In addition, Obi described his choice to destroy the legendary criminal haven known as Akpaka Forest, emphasizing the significance of having a president who is resolute and grants governors authority.

And I said you see this forest Mr President, I want to level it, I don’t want it to be a forest again.
He said do whatever you want, today it is the best habitable place in the area of Onitsha. We levelled it but the president gave us the authority.
