Addressing reporters yesterday at the Sam Mbakwe International Airport in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on what Nigeria should do to progress in the New Year, Obi noted that the most serious problem militating against the progress of the country is insecurity.

The ex-governor also noted that for the country to progress, the security of life and property should be prioritised.

He said: “Security of life and property must be a priority for the country to move forward. With security, investments will flow into the country and citizens will also have the confidence to invest in the country. Until the people are secured, they will not think of other meaningful things to do.”

For the country to move on, especially now that election is approaching,

Obi also noted that for the country to further progress, Nigerians must resolve to choose good leaders, especially as the election year is fast approaching.

“I am talking of leaders with verifiable antecedents and whose character and dispositions are beyond reproach,” he said.

The ex-governor said he watched the Arise TV programme of New Year Day and was struck by two critical things Kaduna State Governor NAsir El-Rufai said about Nigeria: the need to restore security and need to ensure that competent persons are elected.

“It was truthful of El-Rufai to have admitted that if security was guaranteed, that Kaduna State would have done better than it is doing presently. He did also mention that Nigeria is in a critical junction that needs good leadership to salvage,” Obi said.

He lauded President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent visit to the North, especially to Borno State, amidst ISWAP bombing.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain noted that such visits always boost the morale of soldiers and reassure the people of his commitment to security.
