Peter Obi Slams Edo Election and Calls for Urgent Electoral Reform
In a recent statement, Peter Obi expressed strong concerns regarding the recent elections in Edo State, asserting that the events witnessed over the weekend do not reflect the democratic values the nation strives for.
He described the election as a clear example of “state capture” that severely undermines Nigeria’s democratic processes.
Obi warned that a flawed leadership recruitment process poses a significant threat to the nation’s future, urging those in authority to address this alarming situation instead of relying on it to maintain power.
He emphasized the importance of the Independent Review of Votes (IReV) and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), stating that these tools must be utilized effectively to cleanse the electoral process of the falsification that has plagued it for too long.
He cautioned agencies and individuals undermining democracy from positions of authority, reminding them that their time in power is not eternal.
Obi pointed out that the society currently being harmed will eventually seek accountability for the damage inflicted.
Addressing those complicit in perpetuating what he termed a charade, he urged them to reflect on their roles in weakening the foundations of democracy, stressing that the repercussions of their actions will ultimately affect future generations.
Obi reiterated that true politics should focus not just on capturing power but on saving the nation and ensuring it works for all citizens, regardless of their backgrounds.
He concluded with a commitment to building a genuinely democratic Nigeria, asserting that such a transformation is indeed possible.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
