Obi: If Elected President, I’ll Correct Bad Policies Initiated By Tinubu’s Govt

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, discussed his plans for governance and his assessment of President Bola Tinubu's administration in an interview with Arise News TV. Obi criticized the removal of fuel subsidy, stating that it was tied to corruption and criminality. He proposed directing subsidies towards productive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to create jobs and wealth.

Obi also outlined his economic strategy, emphasizing the need to support production and invest in agriculture, education, health, and skills development. In response to concerns about his foreign trips and holidays, Obi stated that the Nigerian President should spend their vacation in Nigeria, particularly during crises.

Regarding state police, Obi expressed openness to exploring their implementation as a means to enhance security across the country.
