Obi Critiques Tinubu's Leadership During Jos Visit

Peter Obi, a prominent political figure, criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as an "absence of leadership" during Tinubu's visit to Jos. Obi highlighted that mere statements and appearances are insufficient in addressing the needs of citizens affected by violence.

He pointed out that true leadership requires empathy and direct engagement with communities, particularly those who have suffered losses due to violence. Obi referenced a tragic incident in Benue State in June 2025, where innocent Nigerians lost their lives, and expressed that the government's response has been inadequate.

He emphasized the need for urgent action to restore public confidence in the government's ability to protect lives and property. Obi's remarks reflect a broader concern about the recurring cycles of violence across Nigeria, which have left citizens feeling abandoned and insecure.

He called for visible leadership that listens to victims and acknowledges their grief, insisting that the government must take tangible steps to address insecurity.
