Peter Obi: I Will Be Commander-in-Chief, Then I’ll Deal with Insecurity Decisively

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, during his appearance on The Morning Show on Monday, was asked how he would clamp down on incessant insecurity in Nigeria if elected President in 2023.

This is against the backdrop of the United States advisory statement on an imminent terror attack in Abuja.

Obi said: “Even with a gun to my head, I will never tell you what I will do, but I will become the Commander In Chief of the armed forces, and I will deal with these issues decisively.”

The Labour Party flag bearer said if he divulges how he intends to combat insecurity, it will not work. He, however, stated that his number one priority if he becomes president is to secure and protect lives and properties.

Obi said any security subordinate who does not deliver on their task would be sent packing from their job as service chiefs.

He said: “Whatever it is, we’ll deal with it decisively, somebody has to be responsible, and if you’re not doing it you’re out, you’re not going to wait.”l

“Go and ask those who worked with me, you either deliver or you go.”
