Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in a BBC interview on Tuesday, October 11, spoke on the number one priority of Nigeria amid preparations for the 2023 general elections.

Insecurity

During the interview anchored by BBC's Peter Okwoche, Obi stated that Nigeria's first major issue which is crying for practical address is security.

For the former Anambra governor, security affects so much of the country's national life, which is why he said he will put in place a responsible and responsible architecture if Nigerians give him the mandate in 2023.

He noted that if the country is secured, farmers will return to their farmlands and this will solve two problems: overcome food inflation and increase Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Obi said:

"If you deal with it [security] today, you deal with inflation because farmers would go back to farms and that would reduce food inflation."

Political structure

Asked how he plans to win the coming presidential election without a 'structure', considering that no one from his party has any elective positive anywhere in Nigeria, Obi said citizens should pay attention to what brought the country to where it is now.

In Obi's view, Nigeria's current condition is the cumulative effect of bad leadership over the years by the same people who are in office today.

His words:
