Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi says banditry attacks and other insecurity challenges across the country are a form of revenge on Nigeria for neglecting to invest in human capacity building for several years. Peter Obi believes that what Nigeria is suffering is a cumulative effect of many years of leadership failure and if nothing is done fast, the country could be classified as a failed state. He says a country that suffers a high level of insecurity and cannot manage its economy properly is already experiencing some signs of a failed state.

Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi and presidential aspirant say Nigeria's biggest problem is leadership failure.

Nigeria's youth is creative, vibrant and energetic. Nigeria's youth has tremendous potential and wants to thrive. My guest Greg Anyaegbudike shares how Nigerians strive and struggle to make their voices heard, and to keep governments at all levels accountable. With Greg I discuss how Nigeria's grass-roots political movements and NGOs try to build pressure on political institutions and how the local government level could be key for a more inclusive development. Greg is convinced that there is great hope in Nigeria, yet it is crucial that political movements are successful in pushing for more transparency and the necessary electoral reforms. Greg Anyaegbudike is a Citizen Engagement Consultant at the World Bank, and was previously an Advisor and Team Leader at the Partnership to Engage, Reform & Learn for Engaged Citizens (PERL) funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) of the UK government.

The federal government on Wednesday hinted that it may declare a state of emergency in Anambra State if circumstances indicate the November 6 governorship election is under threat. Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, disclosed this to State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

With less than four weeks to the Anambra State governorship election, politicians seem to have gone into hiding as there are no campaigns, no posters, and no rallies.This is happening as a result of threats and other activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).On Nigeria Daily, we look at what is happening.

The Conference of Igbo Elders for Peace and Development announced Thursday in a statement signed by National President, Dr. Festus Edochie, and National Secretary, Barrister (Mrs) Esther Amadi.The elders have condemned the formation of South East Security Network by the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,The elders also advised Igbo governors to immediately move to stop Kanu's “illegal” action by creating a security outfit for the South-East zone. They begged the southeast governors and businessmen in the region to pull resources together and form a security outfit like Amotekun or civilian JTF backed by law, which can be controlled and be effective.”According to the statement, the elders said their attention was drawn to a trending video of some misguided youths armed with prohibited firearms and dangerous weapons, describing it as an “inglorious activities of Mr. Kanu”.“We observe with utmost shock and concern a disturbing video of a group of some misguided youths codename Eastern Security Network, bearing arms and circulating on the social media.“In the said video, the group which claimed to be operating somewhere in Anambra State carried Ak-47 and other dangerous weapons under the guise of providing security against violent crimes being committed by herdsmen in the region.“We condemn this group and its activities in its entirety and call on all southeast governors and well-meaning Ndigbo to come out and condemn this act of criminality being sponsored by a self-appointed leader of a proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” the Igbo elders said.”While we recognize perfectly the yearning and desire of every Nigerian today for community policing and self-security due to the insecurity in the country, we insist that it must be done in accordance with the law of the land and by the right people who are legally empowered to do so.“No group or individual has the legal right to bear prohibited firearms of that nature without the proper backing of the law. Hence we must all rise in the South East to not only condemn but also distance ourselves from this act without delay,” the Igbo elders added.They noted that the proscribed IPOB lacks the power to bear prohibited arms, blaming the failed security architecture in the country for the resort to self-help.“No doubt, the current security architecture of Nigeria has failed and Nigerians deserve to protect themselves but that must be done within the premise of the law.“We are Nigerians and cannot form a parallel security arm that bears prohibited firearms for any reason in our region.“It is not in the place of IPOB to organize such a group armed with automatic weapons, no lawful country or citizen will support that, even the civilian Joint Task Force which is supported by law with members assisting in fighting terrorism in Borno State and other parts of North East don't use automatic weapons.“In the South West, also Amotekun which is lawfully set up by the authorities in the region does not use automatic firearms. ” Bearing prohibited firearms under any guise is unacceptable,“Only Dane guns and pump-action rifles can be licensed in Nigeria. We have restrictions in Nigeria on the use of firearms and nobody is above this law. Criminals use these illegally,” the Igbo elders said.The Igbo elders noted, “The obvious gap in our national security notwithstanding, a proscribed organization like IPOB does not have the right to arm a group of young men with automatic weapons in the name of a security network or any nomenclature. It is unacceptable and must be resisted by all Ndigbo of goodwill.“We are therefore calling on all the Southeast governors and businessmen in the region to pull resources together and form a security outfit like Amotekun or civilian JTF backed by law, which can be controlled and be effective.“Finally, we wish to call on the southeast governors, Ohaneze Ndigbo, and other well-meaning groups to come out to condemn the act of criminality that may spark unrest in the region thus portraying Ndigbo as bad and lawless people.“We further appeal to all Nigerians not to see this act of criminality as an Igbo agenda, but a deliberate act by a fugitive criminal, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to gain popularity and earn his daily bread from his sponsors.”
