“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.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
