Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) nominee for president, has reaffirmed his intention to transition the nation from consumption to production if he is elected in 2023.
If he replaces President Muhammadu Buhari, the former governor of Anambra State has pledged to focus on the intangible assets of good administration, the rule of law, and the security of people’s lives and property.
At a gathering with Nigerians living abroad held on Thursday at Howard University in Washington, DC in the United States of America, he made the commitment (USA).

Obi claims that his administration will place a strong emphasis on nationalism, national interest, morale, character, political will, and general effectiveness of governance.
In addition to proper, non-transactional civilian control, he pledged to modernize the security sector, improve governance, and democratize the country’s security architecture.
The security architecture will be adjusted, and each security agency’s head will be a professional who will be able to lead in areas where they have a comparative advantage, according to Obi.
He said: “Our vision and mission is to give full expression to our democracy by moving our country from consumption to production.
“We will pursue intangible assets of good governance, rule of law, security of lives and properties; and lay added emphasis on patriotism, national interest, national morale, national character, political will and overall quality of government. We will democratize our security architecture, via security sector and governance reforms; and proper civilian oversight that is not transactional

“We will tweak the security architecture, and incentivize professionalism by offering each arm or agency, to lead in areas where they have a comparative advantage within the shortest possible time through a public-private partnership. Bolstering our power sector is imperative. We will lay special emphasis on critical infrastructure, especially Power, to ensure a clear measurable increase of 200% of today’s generation, transmission and distribution.
We will actively explore strategies to increase national internet penetration and the ICT sector’s significant contribution to overall economic growth and support for national development. Our foreign policy will continue to be centered on Africa. Through measures related to commerce, investment, and peacekeeping, we will expand Nigeria’s diplomatic sphere of influence.
“Trade and Investment will remain core components of our African foreign policy. We will rebuild Nigeria’s military power, promote economic growth, and enhance its technological prowess to improve Nigeria’s diplomatic influence in sub-regional, regional and global affairs via peacekeeping activities.

“We will proactively reassert Nigeria’s leadership role in African affairs through constructive engagement, using existing sub-regional and regional forums as well as bilateral platforms for dialogue on current and emerging challenges.
“We will aggressively pursue human capital development in the education and health sectors, within available resources; with a view to adopting pertinent global best practices in both sectors. We will have zero tolerance for corruption; block leakages and cut the cost of governance. Our total commitment to transparency and accountability in government business is the only credible way to achieve limited to zero corruption.
“We will seek to reunite Nigeria through strict adherence to Constitutional provisions on equitable representation in Federal establishments of our national diversity, especially, women, youths and people with disability. I remain convinced of the invaluable and proactive role Nigeria’s Diaspora can play in the furtherance of good governance. Such a role is possible and desirable.

“We must leverage our partnership in that regard. It will take only one visionary leadership and disruptive thinker for Nigeria to be put back on the right trajectory. I know that with robust Diaspora support we can do it for Nigeria.“
