Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says he can\u2019t castigate the Eastern Security Network (ESN) because he is uncertain of their activities.<\/p>\n
Obi spoke on Monday at \u2018The Candidates\u2019, a presidential town hall series. <\/p>\n
The former governor of Anambra said agitations in parts of the country is a result of leadership failure.<\/p>\n
He said if elected president, his administration will deploy dialogue to address the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first of our seven-point agenda is to ensure the security of the lives and properties of Nigerians, and to show a united and one Nigeria by ensuring that there is equity, justice, and doing things following rule of law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverywhere 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t condemn ESN because I\u2019m not sure who is doing what. You can only condemn people when there is a process in which they have said this person has done something.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
