I won’t be in Abuja while Zamfara, Niger bleed – Peter Obi

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says he would not be staying comfortably in Abuja while some states of the federation bleed.

Obi spoke on Thursday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He lamented critical security crisis in Nigeria, stressing its severe impact on productivity, farming and human movement.

“As Commander-in-Chief, I won’t sit in Abuja when there’s a problem in Zamfara or Niger. We will visit and go and deal with it decisively.

“And I will commence immediate consultation with stakeholders in different areas of Nigeria on how to deal with it.

“Even if you are retaining the ones that are there, they will know that a new Commander-in-Chief is involved, and I’ll be at the forefront. And I’m going to move not just appointing them; we’re going to move to the critical areas,” Obi said.
