Zane Asher >> Mr. Obi thank you so much for being with us. You're certainly the most popular presidential candidate among.

We have to immediately reduce aggressively, the cost of governance, and the issue of corruption. One, is that we have to deal decisively with the issue of insecurity. The people in the north don’t have a secure place, they don’t have good roads. Peter Obi >> Initially, what we first have to deal with is the issue of security. Peter Obi >> Let me tell you it’s not the issue of refineries not working — there’s no reason why we should not encourage the private sector to operate refineries. I’m talking about the corruption, I’m talking about oil theft, I’m talking about insecurity, I’m talking about the fiscal hole that Nigeria is in right now. Zain Asher >> A lot of Nigerian presidents have come in and talked about revitalizing the manufacturing sector, investing in refineries, but change, as you know, has been very, very slow. When I said I was going to turn around education, health, pull people out of poverty, bring sanity and civility in governance — did that happen or not? We have to get our finances right — and start ensuring that the vast lands of the north are invested in and cultivated. We have to start pulling people out of poverty as quickly as possible. Nigerians are used to being disappointed by their leaders, and what do you think about some of the problems that are facing the country right now, they are systemic. From a concrete perspective, what are your plans to take Nigeria’s economy off of life support?

At last, Peter Obi granted interview by CNN (Video) - P.M. News (P.M. News)

Labour Party's Presidential candidate, Dr. Peter Obi was on Friday evening granted interview by Cable News Network's (CNN) Zain Asher.

On how to tackle the nation’s ailing economy and bring it out of life support, Obi said first of all, “You have to deal decisively with the issue of security, it is impacting negatively on the economy today; you have to deal with it headlong because you have to get the farmers to go back to the farm by ensuring that the vast land in the north are invested.” “If you have a leader that is competent, has the capacity and commitment to start dealing with it, you are not going to solve it overnight but there is going to be a clear visible attempt to dealing with it. You also need to have a leader that has done this in the past,” he said.
