Peter Obi, former presidential candidate and influential political figure, has raised concerns over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, specifically bringing out the increasing cases of kidnapping and killings across the nation.

In a statement shared on his X handle, he decried the alarming frequency of these crimes and called for immediate action to address the menace.

Obi expressed deep worry over how this wave of insecurity has affected every aspect of national life.

He picked examples from the agricultural sector, where farmers are forced off their farmlands by threats of violence, to the educational and health sectors, where teachers, lecturers, and healthcare workers are becoming frequent targets of kidnappers.

In one of the most recent incidents, the Manager of the College of Nursing Sciences in Ihiala, Anambra State, was brutally killed.

This tragic event was followed by the kidnapping of two Reverend Sisters, both key contributors to the education sector.

One is a school principal, while the other is a teacher.

The former governor also questioned the extent of the problem, asking how many cases go unreported if the reported ones are already so overwhelming.

He urged the government to deploy all available resources to combat insecurity, rescue those in captivity, and restore peace in affected areas.

Additionally, he made a heartfelt appeal to the perpetrators, urging them to abandon their criminal activities and adopt peaceful ways of life.

“Nothing justifies these kidnappings and killings. We must not burn down our only nation with terror and violence,” Obi stated.

Dr Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, has declared an end to live broadcasts of church services. Speaking during Sunday’s service, he urged members to make it a priority to attend church physically rather than relying on watching from home.

Referencing Hebrews 10:25, Pastor Enenche stressed the need for believers to gather together in one place, highlighting that the church assembly plays a vital role in spiritual growth. He noted that virtual participation should no longer be encouraged, except for those living abroad who may not have access to a Dunamis branch.

“For many of you used to watching from your living rooms, this might be the last time,” he said, as the church prepares to shut down live streams on platforms like Dunamis TV, YouTube, and Facebook, which previously aired all Sunday and midweek services.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed strong confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s chances of dominating the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at a grand reception in Uyo to welcome Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno into the All Progressives Congress (APC), Akpabio said he believed Tinubu would secure 99.9% of the votes in the upcoming election.

Governor Eno recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC, blaming unresolved leadership issues within his former party for the switch. Akpabio, addressing the crowd, praised Eno’s political journey, noting how difficult it was for him to become governor. But he assured him that with his new political alignment, things would take a different turn.

He boldly predicted that Eno would become the first governor in the state’s history to be re-elected in 2027, adding that both the governor and President Tinubu were in for a smooth political ride moving forward.
