Peter Obi Calls for Urgent Action Against Rising Violence in Nigeria
In a recent statement, Peter Obi, a prominent Nigerian politician and former governor of Anambra State, expressed deep concern over the alarming rise in violent crimes, including killings and kidnappings, that continue to plague the nation.
The ongoing incidents have left many citizens feeling anxious and insecure, as the situation appears to worsen with each passing day.
Obi condemned the brutal attack on crew members of Supersports TV, who tragically lost their lives during an ambush along the Ihiala-Orlu Road in Anambra State.
These media practitioners were en route to Uyo for an official assignment when they fell victim to this senseless violence.
The incident not only resulted in the death of the crew members but also saw others kidnapped, highlighting the dangers faced by those working in the media sector.
The former governor noted that such attacks are not isolated incidents, as a recent terror attack in the Agatu local government area of Benue State left several individuals dead and others injured.
These violent acts have become a grim reality for many Nigerians, with numerous cases going unreported.
The pervasive nature of these crimes has drastically altered the landscape of security in what was once considered a safe nation.
Obi emphasized the urgent need for action, questioning how much longer the people of Nigeria would endure these horrific acts before saying enough is enough.
His statement resonates with many citizens who have witnessed the devastating impact of insecurity on families and communities across the country.
In his message of condolence to the families of those affected by the recent attacks, Obi expressed his heartfelt sympathies.
He called for prayers for the deceased, asking for their eternal rest, and wished a swift recovery for the injured.
His sentiments reflect a broader collective grief shared by many Nigerians who have lost loved ones to violence.
As a nation, Obi stressed the importance of unity in demanding the protection of lives and property for all Nigerians.
The call for enhanced security measures is becoming increasingly urgent as citizens grapple with the realities of living in an environment marked by fear and uncertainty.
Obi’s remarks highlight the need for government action to address the root causes of these violent crimes and to restore a sense of safety and security within the country.
The time for decisive action is now, as the people of Nigeria await tangible solutions to combat the rising tide of insecurity.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
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.”
