Presidential aspirant and a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has assured Nigerians of tackling insecurity and providing jobs for the unemployed.

“We will tackle insecurity through the economy; we shall make people productive and gainfully employed and make crime unattractive,” Mr Obi said.

He spoke while a political pressure group, Like Minds for Peter Obi, delivered the presidential nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to him in Onitsha, Anambra.

While receiving the form, Mr Obi thanked the group for their strong belief and commitment to a better Nigeria.

“Be assured that I am committed to building a better Nigeria. I am committed to securing the future of the youth; we must make this country work.

“Thank you for going out of your way to purchase these forms for me. In the coming days, I will formally declare and unfold my manifesto, and everything I am going to say, I will do,’’ Mr Obi said.

He observed that Nigeria needed to pay serious attention to the 2023 leadership recruitment process, adding that he was confident to emerge the fittest for the job and consensus candidate of the PDP.

“I still say clearly that the country is at its lowest in cohesion, the starting point is to begin to build confidence,” he said.

Those who joined the presidential aspirant to receive the form were National Assembly members, including Uche Ekwunife and Chinedu Onwuaso.
