Obi questioned the government's failure to utilize technological advancements for public safety. “In today’s world, you can know where people are,” he stated, highlighting the potential for better surveillance against crime.
He criticized the allocation of government resources, suggesting that tools meant for monitoring political opponents should instead focus on tracking criminals. “All those equipment they’re using to focus on opponents, should we focus on criminals?” he argued.
If elected, Obi pledged to prioritize combating criminal activities over political rivalries. “I’m not going to follow any opponents. I don’t care where they are. It’s not my business. I’m going to focus it where it is,” he declared.
Obi expressed frustration over the persistence of kidnappings, questioning the effectiveness of Nigeria's security response. “I don’t know who, but there’s something wrong. It’s happening every day. So, there’s something wrong,” he said.
He called for a reassessment of how the government deploys its technology and resources to protect citizens from crime. “We need to confront these issues seriously,” he added.
Obi's remarks underscore a growing concern among citizens regarding safety and the need for a more proactive approach to security in Nigeria. As the country grapples with rising crime rates, his vision for a technology-driven strategy could reshape the discourse on national security.
The former Anambra State governor's statements resonate with many who feel that the government's focus has strayed from protecting citizens to targeting political adversaries. As the election approaches, his commitment to prioritizing public safety may influence voter sentiment.
With security issues dominating the national conversation, Obi's proposals aim to shift the narrative and hold the government accountable for its responsibilities.
