“Citizens Now Live in Fear” – Peter Obi Speaks on Archbishop’s Disappearance
Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has spoken out following the alarming disappearance of Rev. Prof. Godwin Okpala, the emeritus Archbishop of the Niger Province.
The revered cleric went missing on his way to a public function in Anambra State on Monday, accompanied by his driver.
Obi showed deep concern over the deteriorating state of security across Nigeria, noting that citizens now live in fear and uncertainty.
He emphasized that insecurity is no longer isolated to specific regions but has spread throughout the nation, leaving people vulnerable to kidnappings, attacks, and violence.
In his statement shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi lamented that many victims of such incidents remain unreported.
He stressed that every Nigerian should have the fundamental right to move freely and safely within the country, pursuing their daily activities without the fear of harm or abduction.
He called on government authorities at all levels to take urgent steps to address the crisis, emphasizing the need to prioritize the protection of lives and property.
He also urged security agencies to act swiftly in solving the disappearance of Archbishop Okpala and his driver.
Former US President and first Black president, Barack Obama, speaks on leadership and gender. He spoke about how it would be nice for women to be in charge every now and then, as it would strike a balance and advance the government.
“Even when I was President, I sometimes fantasized about if you put women in charge of every government for like two years, and then just kind of saw, ‘All right, how are things going?’”
“I have a strong belief that things wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better. I’m confident about that. I really do,” he added.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, speaks on the state of the country and President Tinubu’s reign.
He analyses it and shares how Tinubu has made tough decisions. “About three years ago, President Bola Tinubu assumed office amid some very significant and structural challenges, and physical challenges.”
“His administration chose to confront the long-standing distortions rather than postpone them, and those decisions were indeed very difficult and were not politically convenient. And because of those decisions, Nigerians have borne some real costs.”
“Today, however, Nigeria is moving from the difficult work of reforms and stabilisation towards a new phase of growth and shared prosperity.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, speaks on the road projects in Abuja and their completion. He shared that they will be completed and described them as Tinubu’s Christmas gift to citizens.
“We have promised the residents that this will be their Christmas gift by Mr President as part of their Christmas gift so that they’ll go back home and enjoy their Christmas celebration.
“You can imagine the happiness of those who stay here. You know that with these roads, the economy of the affected communities will change,” he said.
