Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to unite Nigeria, eliminate national insecurity, and spark massive job creation through a production-driven economy.
​Obi presented his national vision during a campaign town hall meeting held at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
Addresssing supporters and delegates, the former Anambra State governor stated that restoring national unity remains his administration’s primary goal, emphasizing that healing ethnic and religious divisions must take precedence in restoring governance. ​
On national security, Obi outlined a framework focused on modernizing intelligence sharing and deploying advanced surveillance technology to eliminate banditry, terrorism, and kidnapping without paying ransoms.
He tied national safety directly to economic recovery, noting that securing rural farming communities is vital to stabilizing food prices and building economic resilience. ​To solve the country’s unemployment crisis, Obi detailed a strategic shift from consumption to local production by prioritizing regional agricultural strengths, manufacturing, and domestic industry.
He pledged that an NDC-led administration would create millions of job opportunities by securing farmlands, cutting the cost of governance, and redirecting public resources into education and infrastructure development. ​
Reaffirming the campaign’s direction, NDC Chief Spokesperson Dr. Yunusa Tanko addressed journalists during a press briefing at 2:00 PM, emphasizing that Obi represents a demand-driven governance model aimed at eliminating wasteful spending and channelling public funds directly into economic development.
National Youth Coordinator for the Obidient Movement, Moses Paul, added that the campaign will continue to mobilize young voters across all political zones as the NDC town hall tour proceeds across the South-East, North-West, and Niger Delta regions in the coming weeks.
