2027: I’ll enter bush to rescue kidnapped Nigerians if elected — Peter Obi

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has promised to personally participate in efforts to rescue kidnapped Nigerians if elected president in 2027.

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Enugu State on Thursday, Obi criticised President Bola Tinubu’s handling of insecurity and demanded stronger leadership.

According to SaharaReporters, Obi has also pledged to prioritise security and fight corruption if elected.

“If there is a general bush, I will be in that bush with them,” Obi declared.

He added, “As President of Nigeria, I will unite Nigeria. As President of Nigeria, I will secure Nigeria. We will deal with insecurity. I will not be president and somebody will kidnap our children; we will enter the bush together.”

Obi also highlighted hunger and unemployment, calling for competent leadership.

“Today, our country is suffering. Today, people are hungry. Our children do not have employment. Today, Nigeria is not secured,” he said.
