The North will celebrate me if I am President- Peter Obi

2027 presidential aspirant Peter Obi says the northern region of Nigeria will celebrate him if he becomes president.

Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and a prominent member of the opposition coalition floated on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated this when he appeared on Channels TV on Sunday.

According to him, the greatest asset Nigeria has is in the 19 states domiciled in the northern region of the country, but the potential of the region with numerical voter strength and vast arable lands has been largely untapped because of the hydra-headed monster of insecurity.

“We have voted for incompetence, we’ve voted for tribe, (and) we’ve voted for religion; let’s vote for competence. I want them to trust me. The biggest asset of this country is in the north, the uncultivated lands in the north. The criminality we face in the north today, I will deal with it. If I am president, the North will celebrate me. I have an idea of the problem.” he said
