Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour
Party (LP), could not fix insecurity in Anambra while he was governor.
Oshiomhole spoke on Sunday at the progressive young leaders
summit organised by the APC, in Abuja.
Obi, in a recent interview on CNN, had said Nigeria is on
the verge of collapse, and that if elected, he would address insecurity and
challenges affecting the economy.
However, Oshiomhole said Obi cannot convince Nigerians that
he will address the country’s security challenges because he did not do that as
governor of Anambra.
“For those of you who
are social media warriors, there are issues here that you need to speak to. Go
to Google and look at the first six months of governor Obiano’s administration
in Anambra state,” he said.
“What you will find on YouTube is governor Obiano using
bulldozers to demolish the houses of kidnappers and those who were involved in
what they called Bakassi boys or even girls.
“Who was the governor when Bakassi developed in Anambra and
who solved the problem? So, if a man couldn’t fix a security challenge in his
own state which requires courage, how can he convince that he would fix the
security challenges all over Nigeria?
“Don’t take it from
me. Go to YouTube and find out about the first six months of governor Obiano
and find out who was his predecessor.
“If the [predecessor] had solved the problem, will Obiano be
using bulldozers to demolish people’s houses — houses of kidnappers and Bakassi
boys?
“So, when they say ‘I will fix Nigeria’, did you fix your
state?”
Obi handed over to Obiano as governor of Anambra state in
March 2014.
Meanwhile, the ‘Bakassi Boys’ was a vigilante group that was
later accused of extrajudicial killings in the south-east.
