Insecurity: “I Will Be Commander-In- Chief, I Will Deal With It Decisively” – Peter Obi

By Akinwale Kasali

Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi has disclosed that his major priority if he becomes Nigeria’s President in 2023, will be to deal with the pathetic State of insecurity in the country.

The former Anambra State Governor while speaking on Arise Television Monday, said he would deal decisively with the issue of insecurity ravaging the country.

Though he didn’t reveal the strategies he would deploy in tackling the insecurity, he promises not to threat the situation with kid gloves.

Speaking on the security alert raised by the United States of America and other Western countries on a possible attack in the country by Terrorists, Obi said, “Even with a gun on my head, I can’t give you details of what I’m going to do with the issue of insecurity. But I’m going to be Commander- in-Chief, I will deal with it decisively. I can’t tell you how I’m going to deal with it because if I tell you, it won’t work.

“My first responsibility in this country is to secure lives and property. It is a critical thing because unless you do it, nobody will invest. The farmers can’t go back, so there is no food production, there is nothing that can happen without food production.

“Not even America…all the time they were going to Baghdad, they just said, they will attack massively, decisively, they never gave us how they were going to do it that night. How can I tell you? I will be in charge, I will be Commander-in-Chief and with security, we will be responsive and responsible. That means, whatever happened we will deal with it decisively and someone will have to be responsible for it. If you are not doing it, you are out. We are not going to wait.”
