Obi added that the numerous problems confronting Nigeria, though daunting, are solvable.
The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said that the problems facing Nigeria are not ones that can be solved overnight.
Obi added that the numerous problems confronting Nigeria, though daunting, are solvable.
The LP candidate stressed the need for a leader who is competent and has the commitment to solve the problems.
Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, stated this in an interview with CNN on Friday.
He opined that the challenges facing the country are solvable.
“If we have a leader that is competent, has the capacity, and commitment to deal with it, no one will solve it overnight. But there will be clear, visible, measurable attempts to dealing with it. And they are things that are solvable. There are things that can be dealt with decisively,” he said.
The LP Presidential candidate added that the country is on the verge of collapse.
Obi said the level of insecurity in Nigeria is high which makes it difficult for people to invest in the country.
He continued by stating that voting people based on ethnicity, religion, and connections contributed to Nigeria's current state.
“Nigeria is now not just in a physical mess; it is at the last stage to collapse. The people in the North don't have a secure place, good roads, they don't buy bread cheaper than people in the South,” he added.
