Rufai Oseni asked: On security, our children and teachers are still in captivity, and a retired Major General recently di£d while being held host@ge. What would you do if you were President?

Mr. Peter Obi said:

"If I am President today, it is either the terrørists are in charge of the country or I am in charge—one person must be in charge or we declare w@r on ins£curity.

Go and ask about my record when I was Governor. I confrønted ins£curity head-on. Even notørious kidn@ppers like Evans and many others could not operate in Anambra and were forced to flee. If I am outside the country and there is a cris!s at home, I will return immediately. I am ready to d!e for Nigeria. I lived abroad for years, yet I never considered obtaining a foreign passport. I have only one passport—the Nigerian passport."
