Answering questions from the Press yesterday at the Sam Mbakwe International Airport, Owerri, on what is needed for Nigeria to move on in the new year, Obi said that from the benefit of hindsight, the most serious problem militating against the progress of the country was the issue of insecurity and that for the country to move on, the security of lives and property should be a priority.

In Obi’s words: “Security of lives and property must be a priority for the country to move forward. With  security, investments will flow into the country and citizens will also have the confidence to invest in the country. Until the people are secured, they will not think of other meaningful things to do.”

For the country to move on, especially now that election is approaching, Obi said, that  Nigerians must resolve to choose good leaders for the country. “ I am talking of leaders with verifiable antecedents and whose character and disposition are beyond reproach”, he said.

Speaking further, Obi said he watched the Arise  TV programme of New Year day and was struck by two critical things Gov. El Rufai  of Kaduna said  about Nigeria, namely, the need to restore security  and need to ensure that competent persons are elected.

“It was truthful of  El Rufai to have admitted that if security was guaranteed, that Kaduna state would have done better than she is doing presently. He did also mentioned that Nigeria is in a critical junction that need good leadership to salvage her,” Obi said.
