Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has unveiled his agenda for Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general election, promising to prioritise national unity, security, economic growth, education and healthcare if elected president.
Obi presented his vision during a town hall meeting with supporters and stakeholders in Jos, Plateau State, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, where he argued that Nigeria needs leadership that listens to citizens and addresses the challenges affecting ordinary families.
The former Anambra State governor identified national unity as his first priority, expressing concern that religious and ethnic divisions have continued to weaken the country.
“Our number one commitment is to unite the Federal Republic of Nigeria because today we have no unity. We are divided along tribal and religious lines. That should not be. We are Nigerians,” he said.
Security featured prominently in his address, particularly given the persistent attacks, kidnappings, and displacement affecting several communities across the country.
Obi promised to strengthen the country’s security architecture and ensure that Nigerians can travel, farm, attend school, and conduct businesses without fear.
He also pledged to facilitate the safe return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their ancestral communities, describing the continued existence of displacement camps as evidence of the government’s failure to protect citizens.
“If any Nigerian remains in an Internally Displaced Persons camp, we have failed,” he declared.
On the economy, Obi said his administration would move Nigeria away from excessive dependence on consumption and imports towards a production-driven economy capable of creating jobs and improving household incomes.
He promised to expand access to affordable credit for small businesses, arguing that entrepreneurs need financial support to grow, employ workers, and contribute to national development.
The NDC candidate also promised substantial investment in education, expressing concern over the millions of Nigerian children currently out of school. He said his government would build classrooms, employ more teachers, and improve the quality of education.
Healthcare was another major focus, with Obi pledging to strengthen primary healthcare centers and improve access to medical services, particularly for pregnant women, children, and vulnerable communities.
He equally promised to tackle corruption, insisting that public funds must be used for the benefit of citizens rather than diverted for private interests.
Beyond his policy promises, Obi urged Nigerians to take greater responsibility for protecting their votes in the 2027 elections. He encouraged voters to remain at polling stations after voting and ensured that results are properly counted, recorded, and transmitted.
His presentation comes amid growing political activities ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
However, the major challenge for Obi will be translating these broad commitments into practical policies with clear funding arrangements, timelines, and measurable targets.
From insecurity and unemployment to poor healthcare and failing infrastructure, Nigerians face problems that will require more than campaign promises to resolve. Voters will ultimately want to know not just what candidates intend to do, but how they plan to achieve it.
