Peter
Obi has declared that he is prepared to make the ultimate
sacrifice for Nigeria, insisting that the country must not be allowed to fall
into the hands of criminal groups and other non-state actors.
Speaking during an
interview broadcast by Nevon Media on Tuesday, the 2027 presidential candidate
of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) spoke passionately about the nation’s
worsening security situation and the need for strong leadership to confront it.
Obi argued that tackling
insecurity requires clear direction and firm command, stressing that
responsibility cannot be divided when the country is facing serious threats.
According to him, one person must take charge and lead the fight against those
undermining the authority of the state.
He said anyone entrusted
with such a task must be prepared for the risks that come with it.
“If
you're ready to live, you must be ready to die. If you're not ready to die, go
home,” Obi stated during the interview.
The
former Anambra State governor also reaffirmed his commitment to Nigeria, saying
he has never felt the need to seek citizenship or hold the passport of another
country.
Obi
maintained that his loyalty remains firmly with Nigeria and that he is fully
committed to its future despite the many challenges facing the nation.
Declaring
his readiness to put everything on the line for the country, he said Nigeria must
remain united and secure, warning that criminal elements should never be
allowed to overpower legitimate institutions of government.
“I’m
ready to die for Nigeria,” he said. “It’s one country. We cannot have non-state
actors take over the state.”
His remarks come at a time when concerns over insecurity
continue to dominate public debate, with many Nigerians calling for stronger
action to restore peace and protect lives across the country.
