Peter Obi Speaks on Jonathan, Buhari and other issues.

The interview below is an excerpt taken from Peter Obi's latest interview where he bared his mind on President Jonathan, the economy, Buhari, Bokoharam and other burning national issues. Enjoy reading.


Sir, we overheard the Vice President introduce you as the Deputy Director General (South), comprising the South West, South East and South South, which is why you are here as part of the reconciliation team of the PDP for Lagos. Are you satisfied with the outcome of the reconciliation meeting?
Yes I am. I thank the Vice President, Arc Namadi Sambo, who led the peace talks and also thank and congratulate the people of the state for their maturity. Mr Vice Vice President spoke to the party members like a father, and everybody in the PDP family agreed with him on the need to close ranks and work together.

What is your reaction to the the statement of Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the Director of Gen Buhari's campaign, that the APC supports the soldiers involved in mutiny?
The statement, if it is true, is unfortunate and least expected of a public officer of his status. I have always maintained that leaders in corporate and public life should strive to maintain exemplary character and behaviour that is worthy of emulation. Their pronouncements and disposition must be responsible, devoid of abusive, or inciting words that could undermine the moral fabric of the society. On this same issue of security in particular, lives have been lost by the civilian populace and military personnel. That is why public figures must be sensitive to these things and show signs of serious social responsibility at all times. We are expected to speak with restraint and decorum, knowing that we can make or mar society. At all times and in all climes, issues of security are left in the hands of security agents and we must show utmost understanding of the dynamics of security.
