Obi Laments Nigeria’s Insecurity Crisis

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has decried the collapsed security in Nigeria, stating that the country is bleeding because those elected to protect the nation have chosen comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.

In a post via vis verified X handle late on Sunday, Obi said the past 10 days in Nigeria have witnessed unprecedented negative news, a level of chaos, insecurity, and institutional decay that should trouble the conscience of all the leaders.

The former Anambra state governor decried that Nigeria is going through troubling times, not by fate, but by the collective leadership failures that allow insecurity, lawlessness, and institutional decay to thrive.

According to him, each day confronts the nation with a new tragedy and a new reminder that the beloved country is drifting amid a clear absence of competent, compassionate, responsive and responsible leadership.

“We have all watched a nation blessed with people of strength and resilience drift into avoidable disorder. We should be asking ourselves: Are we cursed, or are we the curse?

“And just as I was speaking about this, I received yet another devastating report about the abduction of 13 female farmers in Askira-Uba LGA of Borno State today by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP Terrorists.

“No serious nation survives on excuses, indifference, or absentee leadership. What we are witnessing is not inevitable, it is the direct consequence of us leaders not valuing human life. Nigeria is bleeding because those elected to protect the nation have chosen comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.

“We the leaders must remember that governance is not a title, it is a duty to protect every child, every community, and every citizen. We need competence, compassion, and a government that shows up when it matters the most.

“To every Nigerian shaken in these past 10 days, my heart is with you. You deserve safety, you deserve peace. We deserve a government that values our lives above politics. Nigeria must rise again,” he tweeted.
