The Northern area of the country would have a special place on Peter Obi’s agenda if he is elected president because the region is where the majority of the country’s wealth is concentrated.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the LP Candidate stated at the Arewa Joint Committee Interactive Session in Kaduna on Monday that the region is crucial to the development plans of the Obi-Datti administration if elected President in 2023. His statement was headed “The Unmet Needs of the North.”
Obi added that “we shall pay as much attention to the development of the North as to the development of all other parts of the country; but with much greater emphasis on the development of the Agricultural resources. The North remains where the biggest and sustainable wealth of this great Nation lies.”

He also pledged the following in the North:“offer immediate and decisive long-lasting and permanent-effect resolution of all security challenges in the North. Ensure that farmers return to all farmlands for the 2023 farming Season. We will make Nigeria’s arable land in the North her new oil and gold.”
As part of his administration’s master plan for education, he said “we will foster Federal intervention in education at all levels in the North and partnership with State Governments and international organizations in order to improve access to affordable and quality education at all levels; Ensure very adequate representation in government, equitable appointments, especially in the Security and Economic Sectors; Incentivize the resuscitation of the moribund cotton and textile industries; and full exploration of the cattle economy value chain, notably the $75b global hide and skin economy.”

He stated that Nigeria’s share of the global industry is envisaged to generate over $1 billion by 2025.
He continued by saying that a new Nigeria is possible and that the people of Nigeria demand answers to the myriad issues they are now facing.
“But we must return to the dreams of our founding fathers to create an egalitarian society. The Nigeria we seek will be a United and Secure Nigeria that symbolizes the spirit, letters, and exhorting ethos of our national anthem, one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity where peace and justice shall reign,” the LP presidential hopeful noted.

According to him, the Obi-Datti ticket intends to provide Nigerians with meaningful leadership that is governed by the rule of law and the Constitution and is motivated by a fear of God.
“Nigeria’s situation got this bad because our leaders became selfish, myopic and stopped listening and caring for the common man. Bad leadership, divisive rhetoric, and impunity became the norm. Nigerians have suffered; they have lost jobs and lost their farms and herds and their trust in our leaders. That narrative must change,” Obi added.
