In order to overcome Bola Tinubu and become president in 2027, Peter Obi, a presidential candidate, has urged Northerners to back him by promising to end the insecurity that afflicts their area.
“The people in the North will rejoice if I win the presidency. They should have faith in me. Mr. Obi stated in an interview that aired on Channels TV on Sunday night that the North is our country’s greatest asset. An asset is the uncultivated land. I’ll handle the crime that exists in the North today. I know what the problem is. I have their trust.
“We have been voting for tribe and religion,” he continued. This time, let’s cast our votes for competence.
Insecurity under Mr. Tinubu’s administration has gotten worse, according to the former governor of Anambra.
In Ibadan, a number of children passed away on December 18 or almost so. Nigeria’s president flew from Abuja to Lagos on the 19th. He has no empathy. Mr. Obi, a presidential candidate in 2023, claimed that Mr. Tinubu had been absent from Benue for days. The scene of the incident was not visited by him. In Niger State, where we lost more than 200 people, he has not visited. “If the people are dying, the president should be prepared to die too.”
In contrast to the lives of unfortunate Nigerians, the Labour Party politician charged that Mr. Tinubu prioritized roads.

For what reason are highways being put into service when children are dying? Do highways hold greater significance than school-age children? “He has no empathy,” Mr. Obi said.
In 2027, if he is elected president of Nigeria, he promises to behave differently.
“I refuse to do so. I will go find their parents. In Mokwa, I’ll be staying among the locals. A president who cares and has compassion is what people want to see when they get up,” the lawmaker stated.
Given the alarming lack of access to healthcare and other essential social amenities in the nation, Mr. Obi criticized Mr. Tinubu for purchasing a presidential jet.
The North-East and North-West geopolitical regions are plagued by “criminality and hardship,” and the legislator urged the European Union to pay “special attention” to them in April.
Even though he has made his worries about the North public, some people in the area have vowed that “if he stands for election 1000 times, we won’t vote for him 1000 times.”
