Insecurity: Syria better than Nigeria – Peter Obi

The presidential aspirant Peter Obi said the cause of the insecurity was due to failure of governance under ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. He stated this when he visited the leadership and delegates of the PDP, in the state, to inform them of his presidential ambition, at the party’s secretariat along Okigwe road in Owerri.

He also noted that the problems of Nigeria were becoming worse because the APC government was running an economy based on sharing formula and not a production-based economy.

Nigeria is owing more debt and there is no way in the next 3 years the government would be able to survive the debt. No country survives it. The only way out is to have a production economy and not a sharing economy.

According to him, “You wake up every morning in Nigeria, you hear killings of things that happen in Afghanistan, Pakistan.  Syria even  better than Nigeria,  Tell them I said it is going to get worse with the way things are going because we have a failed government.

The only formula this government of APC has is how to share the money and not how to produce something. The first way to fight insecurity in the country is to create a means of livelihood.”

“We have borrowed over $100 billion and this country cannot generate power. When we look at this whole thing, We have come to change the economy from a sharing economy to a production economy.”

Adding to his voice one of the  Former Senior Special Assistant, SSA, on Public Affairs, to former President Goodluck Jonathan, briefly said: “Nigerians must take the bold step to end the civil war in 2023 to end this marginalisation against the Igbos and the only way to end the city will be to give the South East the presidential ticket.”

Adding that “Zoning is based on party matters, it is based on national interest. I am not alone in the support for Peter Obi, we have other honourable members from the South West I will not mention their names. Nigerians are waiting for Peter Obi.

Charles Ugwu, Imo state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP told Obi, “Your desire is our desire, your hope for Nigeria is our hope to rebuild Nigeria. We pray for you to succeed and help in achieving the Nigeria of our dream.
