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.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
