I can’t condemn ESN when I’m not sure who is doing what – Obi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has said he can’t condemn the Eastern Security Network because he is unsure of their activities.

Speaking on Monday at ‘The Candidates’, a presidential town hall series, the former governor of Anambra said agitations in parts of the country is a result of leadership failure.

He said if elected president, his administration will adopt dialogue to address the issue.

“The first of our seven-point agenda is to ensure the security of the lives and properties of Nigerians, and to show a united and one Nigeria by ensuring that there is equity, justice, and doing things following rule of law.

“Everywhere in the country is full of agitation. It is the effect of leadership failure. There is nothing wrong with agitation. You dialogue and discuss with everybody.

“I can’t condemn ESN because I’m not sure who is doing what. You can only condemn people when there is a process in which they have said this person has done something,” Obi said.
