File: NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi
Former Anambra State Governor and Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, has said he would have personally gone into the forest where pupils and teachers abducted in Oriire, Oyo State, were held if he were President.
He insisted that everyone in the camp would have been brought out, even if the operation resulted in casualties.
Obi also faulted President Bola Tinubu’s handling of the abduction, claiming the President failed to personally reach out to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde during the over 50-day ordeal.
The former Anambra State governor made the remarks during an interview on State of the Nation with Peter Obi on Afia TV’s Eastern Eye, hosted by Alex Ogbodo, which aired live on Thursday.
