Mr. Obi had a few weeks ago opened up on his solutions as to how Nigeria can gradually end insecurity in the country once and for all.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program which was monitored by Africa Today News, New York, Obi stated that his solution to insecurity in Nigeria should be “decisive and immediate”, insisting the more people are removed from poverty, the more criminality is reduced.
The former Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP also asserted that under him, every state should be placed in charge of its own security.
Obi’s comments came on the heels of the attack by terrorists who attacked an Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28, 2022, released three victims out of the 62 hostages who they abducted.
