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 Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”
Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.
It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”
