Peter Obi: I’ll dialogue with agitators to make Nigeria peaceful    

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has reiterated his readiness to bring peace to Nigeria and fasten the development of every part of the country.

Obi said his tactics for fighting agitators would be different, noting that he would consult, discuss and dialogue with them and find out the substance of their agitations.

He stressed that most intractable problems in the world were solved through dialogue, saying he would consider other options only after he had exhausted reason.

The LP presidential flag-bearer said this while speaking to Northern Elders’ Forum at Arewa House in Kaduna on Tuesday.

When asked the reason he is yet to condemn the Monday sit-at-home in the South-East, the former governor of Anambra State said he would continue to condemn wrongdoings in any part of the country, noting that he would not condone such in any guise

Peter Obi added that the overriding interest of his presidential campaign was to make Nigeria “a better country, restore security and secure the future of the country through massive support for education.”
