A FORMER ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNOR, AND THE LABOUR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, PETER OBI SAYS IF ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY IN 2023, HE WOULD ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE WITH THOSE AGITATING FOR SECESSION.
SPEAKING TO NEWSMEN THIS WEDNESDAY, OBI SAID THE AGITATION WAS BIRTHED BY POOR LEADERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY WHICH, ACCORDING TO HIM, HAD BEEN THE ISSUE WITH NIGERIA OVER THE YEARS.
HE SAID HE HAS OBSERVED HOW ISSUES OF AGITATIONS WERE HANDLED IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND HE WOULD HANDLE IT APPROPRIATELY.
DESCRIBING FUEL SUBSIDY AS A SCAM, THE FORMER GOVERNOR ALSO SAID HE WOULD REMOVE SUBSIDY AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING TO REPLACE IT, BECAUSE THE SUBSIDY IS NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE COUNTRY’S ECONOMY.
