Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate, has promised to deal with the displacement crisis in Nigeria.
Speaking in Jos, Plateau State, on Wednesday, he said his government would have failed if anyone was still living in an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp 18 months after he took office.
Obi stated that national unity and security would be his top priorities.
He criticised the way Nigerians are divided along ethnic and religious lines, and pointed to frequent killings in Plateau and Benue.
He said he has visited Bokkos, Mangu and Barkin Ladi, which he said shows he understands what residents are going through.
It was reported also said that with former Kano Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate, the country would be able to stop kidnappings of schoolchildren.
