Former governor of Anambra state, and presidential aspirant, under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Peter Obi, on Thursday expressed that, with the level of insecurity in the country, Syria is now safer than Nigeria.
Obi said this during a visit to the leadership and delegates of the PDP, in the state, to inform them of his political ambition, at the party’s secretariat along Okigwe road in Owerri.
The presidential aspirant blamed the cause of the insecurity on the failure of governance under ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
He also expressed that the problems of Nigeria were escalated because the APC government was more particular about sharing formula and not a production-based economy.
According to Obi, “You wake up every morning in Nigeria you hear killings things that happen in Afghanistan, Pakistan. Even though Syria is now better than Nigeria, it is going to get worse. Tell them I said so with the way things are going because we have a failed government.
“Nigeria is owing more debt and there is no how 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 sharing economy.
“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 sharing economy to a production economy.”
Contributing to his voice, a 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.”
Also noted 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.
The Imo state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Charles Ugwu, while reacting 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. Igbos are the rejected Nigerian that Nigeria needs to rebuild this country.”
