Peter Obi Condemns Call for Violence by Nigerian Woman in Canada
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed strong disapproval of the recent comments made by a Nigerian woman living in Canada, identified as Amaka Sunnberger. Sunnberger, in a controversial TikTok video, allegedly called for violence and the poisoning of Yoruba and Edo people, sparking widespread outrage.
In response, Obi took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to denounce the statements, emphasizing the importance of national unity.
He stressed that tribalism and hatred should not be allowed to sow division among Nigerians, especially at a time when the country is facing significant challenges that require collective action.
Obi wrote, “I firmly condemn the hateful remarks and actions allegedly made by a Nigerian woman in Canada against fellow Nigerians from different ethnic backgrounds. Comments that foster division have no place in our society.”
He went on to urge Nigerians to focus on common issues rather than allowing themselves to be divided along ethnic lines.
“As Nigerians, we must come together to tackle our shared problems. Let’s not allow hatred or tribalism to create unnecessary rifts among us,” he stated.
The former presidential candidate reiterated his long-standing position against tribal, religious, and political division in the country.
“I have always stood against the polarization of Nigeria, whether it’s through tribalism, religious sentiments, or political partisanship,” he said.
Obi further questioned the usefulness of such divisive rhetoric, asking what benefits it brings to the nation.
“What do we, as a people, gain from tribal or religious discrimination? Does it help solve our pressing health and education challenges? Does it lift our people out of poverty? Does it lower the prices of basic commodities like bread, rice, garri, or yam?” he asked, calling for introspection on how Nigerians approach these sensitive issues.
His remarks serve as a reminder that in times of difficulty, unity and understanding are critical to addressing the challenges that Nigeria faces, rather than allowing ethnic and religious differences to tear the nation apart.
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.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
