Insecurity: Peter Obi Reveals Why He Can't Condemn ESN

Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has said that he cannot condemn the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the southeast because he is not sure if they are doing what the allegations say.

Obi made the statement while speaking at ‘The Candidates’, a presidential town hall series on Monday, where he addressed the paramilitary organisation of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

According to him, the agitation in different parts of the nation is traceable to failed leadership and if he is elected, he will tackle the issue with dialogue.

“The first of our seven-point agenda is to ensure the security of the lives and properties of Nigerians. This is by ensuring that there is equity, justice, and doing things following rule of law.

“Everywhere in the country is full of agitation. It is the effect of leadership failure.

"There is nothing wrong with agitation. You dialogue and discuss with everybody.

“I can’t condemn ESN, because I am not sure who is doing what. You can only condemn people when there’s a process in which they have said this person has done something", Obi stated.
