Former Vice
Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Peter Obi has
commended the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria for significantly drawing
the National & Global attention to the worsening security situation in
Nigeria.
Obi who spoke at the
weekend at the sidelines of an International business conference organized by
Ngeria, America Business Forum (NABF) said the peaceful protest by the Bishops
shows their patriotic level of concern on the challenging situation in the
country.
According to a
statement from Obi’s media office in Abuja, Obi charged other critical
stakeholders in the country to join the Bishops in elevating the insecurity
situation in the land for necessary action.
Mr Obi who was one
of the keynote speakers at the well attended forum said what Nigeria
desperately needs now is Investment especially Foreign direct investment to
reboot her declining economy & create employment for her teeming unemployed
youth. But nobody will be
attracted to invest in an unsecured or lawless environment.
He said that
unemployment situation in the country is so frightening and any nation who
cannot engage it’s teeming educated youths surely will have issues with social
vices like crimes and criminalities.
Obi regretted that
Ghana whose entire population is less than 20% of our population is attracting
more Investment & attention than Nigeria with all its abundant capital and
material resources.
Mr Obi said that all
the attendees he spoke to personally had one or two worries, Security, Law
& Order
He further urged
Government to aggressively tackle the situation.
