With a pledge to rid their area of the insecurity scourge, presidential candidate Peter Obi has urged Northerners to back his goal of deposing Bola Tinubu in 2027 and taking his place.
“The North is going to celebrate me if I win the presidency. I’d like their trust. “The North is this country’s greatest asset,” Mr. Obi said in an interview that aired on Channels TV on Sunday evening. The unused land is a resource. I’ll take care of the criminality that exists in the North now. I understand what the issue is. I am trustworthy.
We have been casting our votes based on religion and tribe, he added. Now let’s cast our votes for competence.
Worsening insecurity under Mr. Tinubu’s administration was denounced by the previous governor of Anambra.
“A number of children in Ibadan passed away on December 18 or around that time. On the 19th, the Nigerian president took a plane from Abuja to Lagos. He is heartless. In the 2023 presidential election, Mr. Obi, who ran against Mr. Tinubu, claimed that he had been out of Benue for days. He didn’t go to the location where the incident happened. We lost more than 200 individuals in Niger State, but he hasn’t been there. The president ought to be prepared to pass away if the populace is dying.
Mr. Tinubu, the Labour Party politician charged, prioritized roads over the lives of unfortunate Nigerians.
“When children are dying, why are highways being put into service? Are roads more significant than kids who aren’t attending school? “He lacks empathy,” said Mr. Obi.

He promised to behave differently if he were elected president of Nigeria in 2027.
“I refuse to do that.” I am going to search for their parents. I will remain with the folks in Mokwa. The politician stated that people want to wake up to a president who is compassionate and cares.
In light of the nation’s alarming lack of access to fundamental social amenities like healthcare, Mr. Obi criticized Mr. Tinubu for purchasing a presidential jet.
The politician urged the European Union to pay “special attention” to the North-East and North-West geopolitical regions that have been devastated by “criminality and hardship” in April.
Despite his well-publicized worries about the North, some people in the area have vowed that “we won’t vote for him 1000 times if he stands for election 1000 times.”
