Peter Obi raises alarm over security and poverty at ADC convention

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has criticised the current administration over what he described as worsening insecurity and rising poverty levels in Nigeria.

Speaking at the ongoing ADC convention, Obi argued that the country’s situation has deteriorated significantly since the present government assumed office.

He claimed that Nigeria’s global ranking in terrorism has worsened, warning that the trend could continue if urgent action is not taken.

He also raised concerns about increasing poverty levels, stating that a larger percentage of Nigerians are now living in difficult economic conditions compared to previous years.

“Before the current government came in to be, Nigerian rank in t£rr0r!sm was number 8, today, we’re at number 4. if you give them another 4 years, we’ll be number 1. When this government also came in to be, our p0verty rate was 41.6 percent, 10 million people, today we’re 63 percent, 140 million people living in p0verty,” he said.
