Peter Obi, a candidate in Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, promises to strengthen security, national unity and the fight against poverty. At a public meeting in Jos, he also promised the return of displaced people to their home regions, according to Daily Trust.
Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate in Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, has promised to return internally displaced people to their original communities if elected, during a public meeting with supporters in Jos, Plateau State, Daily Trust reports. He also called on voters to remain at polling stations until their votes have been counted, recorded and transmitted.
Obi said his engagement with communities before the official start of the campaign was intended to allow him to listen to Nigerians’ needs and build solutions based on their demands. He presented national unity, security, economic recovery and accountable leadership as the foundations of his programme, according to Daily Trust.
At the meeting, the NDC candidate said that, in his view, the presence of a single Nigerian in a displaced persons camp would constitute a failure of his future government. He also promised to pursue kidnappers into their hideouts to end child abductions, Daily Trust reports.
The position comes after Peter Obi promised on 8 November to stop the erosion of Nigeria’s wealth as part of his 2027 presidential campaign (Peter Obi had promised to stop the erosion of Nigeria’s wealth). It also comes after accusations made on 10 November by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, who claimed that Peter Obi was seeking to flee to Cameroon (Wike accuses Obi of fleeing to Cameroon).
