Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), could not fix insecurity in Anambra while he was governor.

The former Edo State governor spoke on Sunday at the progressive young leaders summit organised by the APC, in Abuja.

Obi, in a recent interview on CNN, had said Nigeria is on the verge of collapse, and that if elected, he would address insecurity and economic challenges.

However, Oshiomhole said Obi cannot convince Nigerians that he will address the country’s security challenges because he did not do that as governor of Anambra.

“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,” he said.

“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, will 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?”

Obi handed over to Obiano as governor of Anambra state in March 2014.

Meanwhile, the Bakassi Boys was a vigilante group that was later accused of extrajudicial killings in the south-east.
