The 61-year-old politician also said he will deal with the issue of corruption, reduce the cost of governance and address insecurity as it is impacting negatively on the economy.

“The issue of state police has to be decisively dealt with. You need to bring in more personnel into the security system, equip them properly, ensure that they properly motivated to deal with the issue of insecurity because it is the most important thing Nigeria needs today,” Obi noted.

He said the next election must not be based on “it is my turn” but on character, capacity, competence and commitment to do the right thing.

According to him, ethnicity is an early conspiracy to keep Nigeria underdeveloped. Obi, therefore, said he will “dismantle” the “structure of criminality” that enthrone politicians in offices.

On how he intends to solve Nigeria’s multifarious challenges, Obi said, “If you have a leader that is competent, has the capacity and commitment to start dealing with it, you are not going to solve it overnight but there will be a clear, visible, measurable attempt to deal with it and they are things that are solvable, they are things that can be dealt with decisively.”
