Peter Obi Says Nigeria Among World’s Most Insecure Nations
Former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of Labour Party in 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi has lamented the level of insecurity in Nigeria, saying that killings and abductions taking place in every part of the country has placed it among the most insecure nations in the world.
Obi who spoke to journalists in Onitsha called on leaders to double their efforts, saying that if nothing was done, the country may slide into a failed nation. He also called for the release of the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and others freedom fighters and EndSARS protesters, while efforts are made to better engage in dialogue.
He said: “The primary work of government is the security of lives and property. It is the foundation on which people can live in any nation because no one can stay in an insecure place.
“It is worrisome what is happening in Nigeria with the news of killings, abductions and others have made Nigeria one of the most insecure places on the surface of the earth. In fact, it is leading to a failed nation.
“I thank government for their efforts so far, but there is need to do more, and all leaders must come together to join hands and fight this. In the South east, there is need for the governors of the South East to come together to be able to tackle it. “Even in economic agenda, I want to see the South east governors work closely more. We want to see them come together and also bring together other groups in the zone.” Giving his views on the continued detention of Kanu, Obi said: “I don’t see any reason for his contin-ued detention, especially as the courts have granted him bail. Government must obey the court.
“Rule of law is an intricate asset that we must cherish and live with. I use this opportunity to plead with government to ensure that all those who are in similar conditions are released and discussed with. We are in a democracy and we should not be doing things that are arbitrary and not within the law.” Speaking about protest in Kenya and if he supports Nigeria’s to do same, the former governor said: “I’m against riot or destruction of government assets and property, because it is still scarce resources that we are going to use to repair them, but I’m not against peaceful protests. “Peaceful protest is allowed, but it must be for a reason and not personal interest of some people to satisfy a particular interest. It must be properly articulated and properly directed.
“I recall when people said they were protesting police brutality and I said to them no, let’s rather deal with the leadership. If we have good leaders, their agents can’t be bad. The problem is leadership. If the leaders are competent, have the capacity and doing the right thing, their agents will follow their examples.
