Obi promised that his administration would prioritise tackling hunger, poverty and insecurity while creating more opportunities for Nigerians to improve their standard of living.

The former Anambra State governor made the pledge during a town hall meeting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, where he presented some of his plans for the country ahead of the 2027 elections, Naija News reports.

He maintained that Nigeria could become a prosperous and united nation under the right leadership, assuring that the welfare and security of citizens would remain central to his administration.

According to Obi, his government would focus on fighting corruption, promoting national unity and creating an environment where Nigerians could pursue their aspirations without fear.

The NDC flagbearer also promised to generate employment opportunities for young Nigerians, particularly by supporting them to establish and expand their businesses.

Addressing the country’s worsening security challenges, Obi urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to take urgent action to tackle the persistent attacks and killings across different parts of Nigeria.

He, however, assured that if elected, his administration would confront insecurity directly and work towards restoring peace in communities affected by insurgency and terrorist activities.

Obi expressed concern that continued violence had displaced thousands of Nigerians, forcing many to abandon their homes and struggle to meet their basic needs.

He further pledged to give young Nigerians greater opportunities to participate in governance, insisting that their voices and contributions would be recognised under his administration.

The former governor said he understood the concerns of Nigerians and was prepared to implement the necessary changes to improve their living conditions.

Speaking at the event, Obi said, “We are seeking office to be able to ensure that people can go to bed without being hungry. We will care for you. We are not a government for a few people. We are seeking office to unite Nigeria and secure the country. Nigeria is one.”

Earlier, Obi, accompanied by his running mate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and other NDC officials, visited the Tor Tiv and Chairman of the Benue State Council of Chiefs and Traditional Rulers, Professor James Ayatse, at his palace in Gboko.

The delegation subsequently visited Yelewata, a community situated along the Makurdi-Lafia Road in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.

News reports that the Grammy-winning singer made the revelation during an interview with Famous TV.

Wizkid described himself as an introvert who enjoys spending time indoors rather than attending parties or being in crowded environments.

When asked whether he had become less accessible, the singer explained that his approach to social activities had changed over the years due to age and personal experiences.

According to him, growing older has made him more conscious of his choices and helped him gain a clearer understanding of what he wants in life.

Speaking during the interview, Wizkid said: “I’m an introvert. I like staying indoors. I don’t like to do a lot of things. I don’t like to go to a lot of parties. I don’t hang out.

“I think that really comes from age and personal experiences. That’s not like how people perceived me. It’s just like I’m growing older as each day passes. So, like getting smarter with my decisions, you just know what you want more as you grow older.

“I don’t go to parties, I don’t like to hang around too many people. Sometimes when I go to the party, I’m excited to be there. And some just spill a drink on me, and I will be like, I could be at home with my son, you know, just having a good time. Not like I feel insulted.”
