Obi said rather than face the reality that the country was now the poverty capital of the world as well as the most insecure people and take decisive steps to stem the situation, the government was trying to play the ostrich even when the people were overwhelmed by the situation.
In a statement by his media aide, Dr. Tanko Yunusa, the former Anambra State governor stated: “The problems facing Nigeria are well-known to all Nigerians. We are the poverty capital of the world, among the most insecure people on earth, among the hungriest, have poor education quality and the highest number of out-of-school children, high infant mortality, corruption, unemployment, the highest income gap between the poor and the rich, high corruption perception index, infrastructure and healthcare challenges, and more.
