Peter Obi Calls for Unity and Urgent Action to Tackle Insecurity After Borno Attack
Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, has reacted to the recent terrorist attack in Borno State, which claimed several lives and left many missing.
Speaking through his official X handle, Obi described the incident as a grim reminder of the urgent need to tackle insecurity in Nigeria.
He called on the government to intensify efforts to secure the nation and ensure the perpetrators of the heinous act are brought to justice.
He emphasized the need for adequate support for security personnel who risk their lives on the frontlines.
According to him, they must be well-equipped, motivated, and provided with the necessary resources to combat terrorism effectively.
He urged Nigerians to rise above political differences and work together to confront the menace of terrorism.
Also, he called on community leaders, religious leaders, civil society organizations, and citizens to collaborate in finding lasting solutions to the security challenges.
Addressing the grieving families, Obi expressed sympathy, acknowledging that no words could truly convey the depth of their pain.
He assured them that their sorrow is shared by all Nigerians and extended his thoughts and prayers to them during this difficult time.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
