Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, discussed his intentions on Monday at Chatham House, a major policy centre and think tank in the United Kingdom.
According to the 61-year-old billionaire, the current "structure" in Nigeria is one of lawlessness, which has led to the impoverishment of the West African nation.
Obi stated, "You have heard them argue that we lack structure; that is the structure we are attempting to demolish - the structure of criminality to which Nigeria is a captive; that structure is what has impoverished Nigeria. We will disassemble it. It will not exist. I guarantee you."
The LP presidential candidate also pledged to end oil theft, ease ethnic tension caused by injustice and exclusion, increase Nigeria's electricity generation and distribution capacity, end secessionist agitation through effective dialogue and inclusion, service Nigeria's mounting debt, solve youth unemployment, and guarantee that no Nigerian remains in an IDP camp, amongst other things.
Later in the week, Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), will both appear at Chatham House.
Obi's opponent in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, made a presentation at Chatham House in London on December 5, 2022, where he discussed his proposals for key sectors such as military, economy, education, and technology.
Tinubu had also assigned several of his allies, including serving governors and legislators, to address questions posed by event attendees. The event drew significant criticism.
Obi, Tinubu, Kwankwaso, and Atiku Abubakar, all of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are leading candidates in the 2023 presidential election on February 25.
