Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and a key figure in Nigerian politics, has expressed deep sorrow over the recent tragic events linked to the distribution of palliatives.

The incidents, which resulted in the loss of lives, have created grief and criticism, noticing the dire levels of hunger and poverty gripping the nation.

Taking to his X handle, Obi shared his heartfelt condolences with the affected families, communities, and states, describing the incidents as a reflection of systemic failures in governance.

One of the notable developments surrounding this tragedy is the arrest of organizers behind a palliative distribution program in Oyo State.

The initiative, spearheaded by Zainab Otiti Obanor, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, has come under scrutiny following the chaos that unfolded during the event.

In his statement, Peter Obi made a passionate appeal to the government, urging them to reconsider their actions.

He emphasized that acts of goodwill, even when accompanied by unforeseen consequences, should not be treated as criminal offences.

According to Obi, the intent behind such initiatives is to provide relief to citizens, not to cause harm.

Zainab Otiti Obanor, a prominent philanthropist, has often been involved in charitable activities aimed at alleviating suffering in society.

Her efforts in Oyo State were meant to ease the hardship faced by residents, yet the tragic turn of events reflects the harsh realities of desperation among the people.

Obi pointed out that the blame for such occurrences should not rest on individuals attempting to make a difference but on the systemic failures of leadership that have caused hardship.
