Peter Obi Expresses Deep Sadness Over Yobe State Killings
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.
According to him, the current security architecture requires a paradigm shift to effectively address the growing threat to the lives and safety of Nigerians.
The tragic killings in Yobe State have once again brought the country’s ongoing struggle with insecurity to the forefront, with many calling for urgent reforms and actions to ensure the safety of citizens.
It has been reported that the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) is planning to investigate and find out why Uber left Nigeria.
While FAAN has shared that it had no involvement in Uber’s exit, the FCCPC stated that it will find out what led to the decision, following concerns and complaints from users about the company’s exit.
FAAN also shared that it understands consumers’ concerns, as people are worried about the holiday period, when people coming into the country may need rides and Uber is no longer available, as it was a reliable source of transportation.
Since Uber exited Nigeria, rumours have been circulating over why the company left the country. One of the claims suggested that FAAN was part of the reason for the exit.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has now addressed the rumours and claims of its involvement in Uber’s decision to leave Nigeria.
FAAN said it could not speak for Uber’s decision, noting that the company likely had its own economic and regulatory considerations for leaving Nigeria.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Olubunmi Kuku, said “I can’t speak to Uber’s exit from Nigeria. I am sure they have their own economic and regulatory decisions as to why they chose to exit.”
Governor of Akwa Ibom, Pastor Umo Eno, reflected on a career choice he made when he had no choice back then.
The governor recalled how he made not less than ₦10 million in a month from selling bread and akara.
He stated “I started selling Akara and bread. Back then, I was doing Akara Burger — we opened the bread and put Akara inside for you. I made not less than ₦10 million in a month.”
Many Nigerians reacted and wondered if his reflection was in response to what the First Lady advised Nigerians earlier about selling corn.
