Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to embark on rescue missions into forests if elected president in 2027. Speaking at a campaign rally in Bayelsa State, Obi declared that his administration would not tolerate kidnapping and insecurity and would make the country safe for Nigerians to travel without fear.
The former Anambra State governor stressed his administration's commitment to uniting the country, ensuring no region or group felt excluded, and securing Nigeria. Obi highlighted his recent road trips across multiple states, emphasizing the urgent need to improve security on the country's highways. He criticized President Bola Tinubu for not visiting Bayelsa State despite its economic contributions through oil production and for frequent foreign trips, urging the President to focus on engaging with Nigerians nationwide.
On tackling kidnappers, particularly those targeting schoolchildren, Obi vowed to take decisive action, stating that he would personally go into the bush to rescue anyone taken hostage. The NDC leader also promised to address corruption by managing public funds transparently and deploying them for citizens' benefit, with free basic education through collaboration with state governments.
He pledged to produce, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity, a significant increase from the current 4,000 megawatts under the APC.
