Mohammed Taoheed reports,
Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), has revealed how he plans to battle the insecurity issues in Nigeria if he becomes the president in 2023.
Obi vowed to overhaul the country’s security architecture and revive trust between government and the masses.
Obi disclosed this at the 2023 Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Private Sector Economic Forum on the 2023 Presidential Election on Monday in Lagos.
He stresses that Nigeria does not lack good ideas but institutional weakness and lack of political will to implement them had limited it’s economic potential.
He pledged that his government would ensure multilevel policing at federal, state and community levels, and equip them accordingly with modern gadgets to free the economy from the woes of insecurity.
He called on the citizens to hold his government accountable if they fail to deliver on his promises.
According to Obi, “Good governance must be aimed at providing good service and receiving constructive criticism and moving forward with the goal of bringing back the trust of people to governance.
“Under my watch, all groups such as the youth, women, disabled, vulnerable, private sector, must be represented in my government’s decision making process seeing that I am committed to providing a demand driven leadership.
“As a trader, I am one of you and sincerely recognise your challenges and pain, and would provide my own solutions to the questions that have been raised, particularly, security which is impacting on all other economic problems.
“We have identified and prioritised seven critical areas in line with some Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to ensure purposeful leadership as we secure and unite Nigeria with effective legal and institutional reforms.”
