Nigeria, according to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, is on the verge of collapse and needs to be saved right away.
Nigeria is currently in danger of collapsing and is not simply in a physical disaster. No one in the north has a safe place to live, adequate roads, or access to cheaper bread than those in the south. So are people in the south,” the former governor of Anambra State stated on CNN on Friday.

Obi added that he will deal with the corruption problem, lower the expense of government, and deal with insecurity because it is harming the economy.
“The state police issue needs to be resolved quickly. Because security is currently the most pressing demand in Nigeria, more personnel must be added to the security system, equipped adequately, and motivated appropriately, according to Obi.
The next election, he argued, shouldn’t be decided by “it’s my turn,” but rather by a person’s integrity, ability, competence, and willingness to uphold moral principles.
He claims that ethnicity is a long-standing plot to keep Nigeria underdeveloped. As a result, Obi declared that he will “dismantle” the “system of criminality” that elevates politicians to positions of power.
