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.

It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
