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.
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.”
