ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Labour Party (LP), presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has revealed why he cannot condemn the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the South-East.
ESN is the paramilitary organization of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a pro-Biafra separatist movement.
According to the former Governor of Anambra State, he is unsure of who is doing what.
Obi stated this on Monday while speaking at ‘The Candidates’, a presidential town hall series.
Obi also claimed that agitations in parts of Nigeria is as a result of leadership failure.
He said if elected president next year, he would adopt dialogue to deal with the issues rocking the nation.
His words: “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.”
