Peter Obi Raises Alarm Over Nigeria's Worsening Health Records, Calls for Urgent Action

Former Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi has raised concerns over the country's deteriorating health indicators. Obi highlighted two alarming global health records held by Nigeria in a single year, emphasizing the grim state of the healthcare system.

Reports indicate Nigeria has the lowest life expectancy globally, with maternal deaths occurring every seven minutes. Obi emphasized the human toll behind these statistics, calling it a double tragedy and a reflection of poor governance.

Despite not being officially at war, Nigeria's life expectancy is worse than countries like Ukraine and South Sudan. The situation underscores the urgent need for improved healthcare infrastructure and governance in Nigeria.
