Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate has expressed his deep sadness and outrage over the tragic killing of 16 young men in Nibo, a community in Anambra State.

In a heartfelt message, he condemned the senseless act, describing it as a profound loss not only for the victims’ families but also for the larger community and the nation as a whole.

According to Obi, this despicable event serves as a stark reminder of the rising violence that has gripped Nigerian society in recent times.

“Life is sacred, and no one has the right to take it,” he said, lamenting the disturbing trend of disregard for human life and dignity that has spread throughout the country.

The brutal killing of these young men, he emphasized, is evidence of the growing menace of lawlessness that threatens the stability and progress of the nation.

Obi called for collective efforts to tackle the root causes of this violence, stressing that the country’s development is at risk if such atrocities are allowed to continue unchecked.

He urged the government, security agencies, and community leaders to come together and address these pressing issues before they escalate further.

In extending his condolences, Obi said his thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims, the Nibo community, and the Anambra State Government.

He urged authorities to ensure that justice is served and that the perpetrators of this horrific crime are brought to justice swiftly.

“Nigeria must become a nation where safety and justice prevail over violence and lawlessness,” he asserted.

The Nibo massacre has shocked the entire Anambra State, and its effects are being felt across the nation.

The 16 young men, whose lives were brutally cut short, were known to be active and well-loved members of their community.

Their deaths have left a void in the hearts of their families and friends, and the entire town of Nibo is in mourning.

In response to the incident, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has vowed to step up efforts to curb violence in the state.

He promised that the government would not rest until the criminals responsible for the attack were captured and justice was served.

Governor Soludo, like many in the state, has expressed concern over the increasing spate of killings and insecurity in the region.

Just recently, Anambra has been dealing with various cases of kidnappings, armed robbery, and cult-related violence.

Peter Obi’s call for justice echoes the sentiments of many Nigerians who have grown frustrated with the seeming inability of the government to curb insecurity.

Citizens have continuously called on the Nigerian police and security forces to take more decisive action in preventing violent incidents and ensuring that peace is restored to troubled regions.

Obi’s statement also highlights the need for long-term solutions, not just to address the immediate aftermath of violent attacks but to tackle the underlying problems that fuel such violence.

He noted that unemployment, poverty, and a lack of education are major contributors to the ongoing violence and stressed the importance of addressing these issues.

The Nibo massacre is yet another chapter in Nigeria’s long-standing struggle with insecurity.

While efforts have been made to address the problem, incidents like this show that much more needs to be done to ensure the safety of all citizens.

As the country continues to grapple with these challenges, leaders like Peter Obi continue to call for change, urging Nigerians to stand united in the fight for justice, peace, and progress.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may their families, as well as the Anambra State Government, find the strength to bear this monumental loss.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi are reportedly in talks to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP), according to Adewole Adebayo, the SDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.

Adebayo revealed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, where he shared that discussions are ongoing through close associates of both Atiku and Obi. He mentioned that the SDP is open to welcoming them into the fold.

He added that the party had recently admitted a former governor from Kaduna State, who is also a key member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling a shift in the political landscape. Adebayo emphasized that the SDP is experiencing growth as more individuals join, but there is a need for a cultural shift in politics, particularly regarding internal rules and procedures.

When asked directly about Obi’s potential move to the SDP, Adebayo confirmed that while talks are taking place, nothing is official until a formal announcement is made. He mentioned that he had received updates from party officials, including the Financial Secretary, about the ongoing discussions.

Adebayo also stressed that the SDP would only accept politicians who align with the party’s values and adhere to its democratic processes. “If they are willing to follow our transparent and credible internal processes, we can work together to offer Nigerians a real alternative,” he added.
