Peter Obi Calls for Unity Against Insecurity in Nigeria

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), called on Nigerians to reject ethnic and religious divisions during a Vote4Obi Zoom meeting. He emphasized that insecurity, poverty, and economic hardship affect all citizens regardless of their backgrounds.

Obi stated, “No tribe buys bread cheaper” and highlighted that the common challenges should compel citizens to prioritize competent leadership over ethnic considerations. He expressed concern over the recent abduction of 22 graduates traveling for the National Youth Service Corps, questioning the effectiveness of security agencies in rescuing victims.

Obi criticized the inability of security forces to locate criminal groups operating within Nigeria, despite advancements in technology. He advocated for improved logistics, equipment, and welfare for security personnel, stressing the need for a president who would lead efforts to secure the nation and support the families of fallen officers.
