The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has lamented the security scourge bedevilling Africa, disclosing “Non-state actors have now taken over the security in some African nations.”


Obi who called on global leaders for a leadership dialogue focused on governance, spoke in Athens, Greece’s capital, at an international dialogue of global leaders that includes former Presidents and top government officials.


Obi listed unemployment, corruption, poverty, and inequality among the variables militating against security and tranquil co-existence in Africa, disclosing over 50 per cent of the African population is multi-dimensionally poor.


“I adjunct global leaders, former presidents, prime ministers, serving and retired senior government officials, military chiefs, renowned academics, sports personalities, and others in Athens, Greece, for a Leadership Dialogue focused on governance, particularly in the areas of security and the frugality in today’s world, and the lessons for future leaders.

“In my brief presentation, I emphasised that as leaders, we must acknowledge the profound global and generational transformations confronting us. Despite vast human and material resources, there remain significant unmet needs in global governance,” a statement on Saturday signed by the spokesperson of the Peter Obi Media Reach, Ibrahim Umar, quoted Obi.


The former Anambra State governor joined “Urgent attention must be given to intensifying collective security, lifting people out of poverty, and reducing injustice and inequality in society.


“In Africa, we face high levels of insecurity, alarming corruption, worsening poverty, enormous youth unemployment, and gross inequality.
