The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Monday said that when he becomes president in 2023, he will face the nation’s security crisis head-on.

In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former Anambra State governor said his solution to the problem will be “decisive and immediate”.

While stressing that the nation’s security situation has been very worrisome, Mr Obi said he feels the Federal Government should do more.

Obi’s comments come a few hours after the terrorists who attacked an Abuja/Kaduna train on March 28, 2022, released three victims out of the 62 hostages who they abducted.

A disturbing video on Sunday had shown some of the victims being flogged, even as the terrorists threatened to sell some into slavery and kill others.

Reacting to the development and others across the country, the Labour Party’s Presidential Flagbearer, said there are so many things that he would put in place to stem the tide of insecurity, most of which he cannot mention on air at the moment.

Speaking further, Mr Obi was of the opinion that there needs to be an economic transformation for the security situation in Nigeria to change.

“To improve the security situation in Nigeria, as President, I will ensure the economy works and more people are pulled out of poverty.”

He also stated that with him at the helms of affairs, every state will be responsible for their own security.

I trust this brave man. He has never made a promise he didn't fulfil.

How many has he offered Anambra and south east at large with all the security challenges befalling her?

Everything going on in the whole of south east

Is a result of Buhari bad governance.

APC lack what it takes to secure and guard human lives in the whole of federal republic of Nigeria.

Look at what is going on in the whole of northern states

Is he the current governor of Anambra, is he in charge of south east now? You want him to clash with the serving governor so you can accuse him of trying to bully an elected governor?

Leadership is not defined by position held. It is your ability to influence positively situations even without being in position. They don't call you influencial because of your position but rather your influences made outside positions.

As a formal governor, he can make inputs which can help the situations at hand. Rather than keep it until he becomes president.

Profering solutions if genuine and helpful won't lead to any clash. Even Jonathan still advises the president on certain matters and it has not resulted to any clash whatsoever

He doesn't need to be commander in chief before making contributions. As the security officer during his time as governor, were there no killings or kidnapping as the case maybe?

We believe you sir, true!

His interview tonight is very watery and uninspiring. Obi is overrated

Liveandlove:
We here you sir

we heard you

That's how it should be done

Obi wonder!! His readiness is topnotch

Just become OBI-dient and YUS-ful to your life by getting your PVC, vote on election day & also protect your vote from BATS or else A ti Ku o!

That's how Buhari was making mouth....

Even Jonathan no get am right Government no b one person dere ar sabotage in every Govt some will want to use the insecurity to make money no mata how competent you're....

Nigeria problem one person....

That is the way to go unlike Buhari who is notoriously pampering terrorists.

buhari cannot deal with his colleagues behind insecurity.

This people should be fast with this election.

Some chronic idiot do ask on the current crises in Anambra State and attributes to a past former governor..

There is nothing like Godfather in these state .. as a civil duty once you are done with your tenure and deliver.. the people vote in a new person to lead.. you peacefully hand over to the person without no prejudice. This helps democratic event and as such
