Peter Obi Mourns Lt. Lagbaja’s Death And Offers Condolences to Family and Nigeria
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has expressed his deepest condolences following the unfortunate passing of the Chief of the Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja.
In a heartfelt message on behalf of his family and the Obi-dient family, Obi extended his sympathies to the Lagbaja family, the Government of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Army.
The death of Lt. General Lagbaja, a highly respected figure in Nigeria’s military, has left a significant void, not only in his family but in the country as a whole.
The late general was known for his commitment to the Nigerian Army and his tireless efforts toward ensuring national security.
His passing is seen as a great loss, especially given the crucial role he played in the country’s defence and military operations.
In his message, Peter Obi prayed for the repose of the soul of the late Chief of Army Staff, asking that God grant him eternal rest and forgive his sins.
He also prayed for strength for the bereaved family and the Nigerian military, recognizing the weight of the loss they are enduring.
Obi further extended his prayers to the Nigerian government, urging them to find the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
