Yobe State, Nigeria – Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, has expressed his deep sadness over the recent killing of innocent civilians in Mafia Village, Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State.

The tragic incident, which saw several people brutally murdered, has once again highlighted the deteriorating security situation in the country.

In a statement, Obi condemned the horrific violence, calling it a “stark reminder” of the seriousness of Nigeria’s security challenges.

He emphasized that the continuous loss of innocent lives through killings, maiming, and displacement is a clear indication that the nation’s security framework is failing.

“We must acknowledge this reality and take bold steps,” Obi stated. He reiterated his long-standing stance on the need to declare war on insecurity before it spirals further out of control.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
