Labour Party's Peter Obi has revealed that he plans to dialogue with members of IPOB and other agitators if he wins the 2023 presidential election.

Obi made the disclosure while fielding questions on insecurity in the country at the corporate headquarters of the Media Trust Group (MTG).

According to him, Nigeria does not have more agitation than Brazil and dialoguing with those in the southeastern part of the country he would do.

“I have said it times without number, Nigeria does not have more agitation than Brazil, if you want I will show you countries that have had agitations in the past, whether it is Brazil, Mexico, whether it is this. 

 “In our South East, it is a simple thing, I will dialogue, I will discuss, it is a democracy, and in a democracy, you govern by consensus. If anybody says he is not happy, you call him and you sit him down and discuss with him.

 “People agitate in my house, my wife, my children. If you say to me you have lived with your wife all through and you people have never quarrelled, then you are not married.

"You disagree and settle it – that is agitation", Obi stated.

Speaking further, he said he would lend a listening ear to all for the smooth administration of the country. 

 “I will govern by listening to the people. I will visit every state in Nigeria. We have a huge land in the North that if properly invested and cultivated, will change Nigeria.

"The more I pull people out of poverty, the more I reduce agitation, the more I reduce criminality.

"What you are seeing in Nigeria today is a cumulative effect of leadership failure over the years and all I want to do is to be seen to be that man who changed this country called Nigeria,” he said.
