Peter Obi Criticizes Leaders Amid Ongoing Terrorism

Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate, condemned the ongoing terrorist attacks in Nigeria, particularly referencing a recent incident in Ngosh that targeted a military base and an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp. This attack resulted in the deaths of civilians and soldiers, with several others reported missing.

Obi expressed deep horror over the tragedy, emphasizing the daily hardships Nigerians face due to worsening insecurity. He criticized political leaders for allegedly focusing on power struggles and maneuvering for the upcoming 2027 elections instead of addressing the country's security crisis.

Obi questioned how long Nigerians would continue to suffer the consequences of poor leadership and mismanagement, calling for decisive actions to secure communities and protect vulnerable populations. He lamented that despite the daily killings, political leaders seem more concerned with positioning themselves for the next election cycle rather than addressing the pressing issues of insecurity, poverty, and underdevelopment in the country.
