Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has linked the persistent insecurity in northern Nigeria to widespread poverty.

Obi expressed this viewpoint over the weekend during a visit to the Muslim community in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, where he joined them in breaking the Ramadan fast.

Highlighting his desire to see Nigeria restored to its former glory as a progressive and prosperous nation, Obi emphasized the need for substantial investment in education and youth empowerment as crucial steps toward eradicating poverty and addressing insecurity.

While addressing the Muslim faithful, Obi said: “The criminality you see in the North is because of poverty. We need to fix poverty and empower the education sector for these things to be addressed. I believe in you; I believe in Nigeria. We are all the same. There is nowhere people of any religion buy bread cheaper; what Nigerians want is a good life.

“Every Nigerian wants to live in peace in any part they find themselves in; we want to live in peace; we want our children to live together. We want to return Nigeria to where she used to be,” Obi added.
