Nigeria Is Collapsing Under You, Buhari Told At Party Convention

Nigeria is collapsing under you, President Muhammadu Buhari has been told openly at a party convention in Bauchi.

Speaking was former Anambra State governor and currently a presidential aspirant under the banner of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Peter Obi.

Obi, a strong contender in next year’s election, made his submissions while speaking at the  PDP’s national convention , stating that the country was going through difficult times

“The country is going through a very difficult time now, and it is collapsing and we must, for the future of our children, change the trajectory of the country by ensuring that we move this country from consumption to production, from sharing to creating.

“We must build a better place, we must change our country because we cannot continue with this level of underdevelopment, this level of insecurity, with this level of problems all over the place. So, we must do the needful to ensure that in 2023, our party must have a candidate that has the capacity, competence, commitment to build a better Nigeria.

“Our country today is insecure and people ask me, ‘how are you going to tackle this issue of insecurity?’ You can fight insecurity in two ways: firstly, you can fight insecurity the natural way and that is making the youths have a means of livelihood.

“If you don’t know where the next meal will come from, there are tendencies that you go into criminality. So, you must pull people out of poverty because the more you pull people out of poverty, the more you reduce criminality.

“The second way to tackle insecurity is solving it through men – ensure that you fund security agencies and have capable men, train, empower and provide them with all the necessary equipment they need and this can be done.

“When you go to vote at the convention, please, look at the future of your children and ask yourself, ‘which kind of society do I want these children to live in?’ Even if they give you money or buy you lunch, collect it but when you go to vote, look at the future of your children. We need to do things properly,” he stated.

Obi also lamented the rising debt profile of the country since the Buhari regime came on board.
