“We Must Not Burn Down Our Only Nation With Terror and Violence” – Peter Obi Urges
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.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
