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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
