For a long time people have wasted the future of Nigerians and we cannot continue like that.“We will secure and restore Nigeria to what it should be,” he said.Obi, who lamented the security challenges in Birnin Kebbi and other parts of Nigeria, said his administration would restore the people’s hope and ensure that no Nigerian stayed in displaced persons’ camps
“We must agree to take over from them. Nigeria is blessed it’s people should be able to feed themselves.but people are hungry, there is poverty everywhere because of misrule”.
The labour presidential candidate added that Nigerians need to have a country where they can move freely and their children can go to school and feed well without being subjected to sufferings.
