The
former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole,
has said the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, cannot address the
country’s security challenges as he couldn’t fix same challenge when he was
Anambra State governor.
Oshiomhole said Obi couldn’t handle the dreaded gang, known
as the Bakassi Boys, during his tenure as governor in Anambra State,
The former Edo State governor stated this on Sunday at the
APC progressive young leaders summit in Abuja.
Recall that the Bakassi Boys was a vigilante group accused of extrajudicial killings in the South East.
Oshiomhole said: “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 Obaino’s administration in Anambra
state.
“What you will find on
YouTube is governor Obaino 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 challenge all over Nigeria?
“Don’t take it from
me. Go to YouTube and find out about the first six months of governor Obaino
and find out who was his predecessor.
“If the [predecessor]
had solved the problem, would Obaino 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?”
