George Okoh in Makurdi Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has pledged to tackle insecurity, unite Nigerians and drastically reduce poverty if elected president in 2027.
Obi made the pledge during a town hall meeting in Makurdi, Benue State, on Wednesday, where he assured residents that his administration would take decisive action against kidnapping, killings and other security challenges confronting the country.
The NDC presidential candidate, accompanied by his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, also visited the Tor Tiv, Prof.
James Ayatse, and the Yelewata community, where they commiserated with residents over the massacre of 271 people in 2025. Obi raised concern over the rising insecurity across the country, stressing that his government would not tolerate the abduction or killing of innocent Nigerians. He said, “If we are in government and anyone tries to kill or kidnap two children, we will get you. No Nigerian will be allowed to go to bed hungry.” The former Anambra State governor also lamented what he described as the absence of federal government projects in Benue State, promising to initiate and execute several development projects in the state if elected.
