Nigeria’s bloodshed now deadlier than war-torn countries – Peter Obi raises alarm
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has raised the alarm over Nigeria’s worsening security crisis, declaring that the recurring killings across the country are now deadlier than what obtains in some countries officially at war.
Obi made the grim assessment in reaction to the recent massacre of more than 100 people in Kwara State, describing the spate of attacks by terrorists and armed groups as a national tragedy and a damning indictment of the country’s failure to protect innocent lives.
He stated, “Every loss of innocent life is tragic, and these killings represent a major failure for us as a nation.”
The former governor decried and extended his condolences to the families of the victims, the affected communities, as well as the residents and government of the state.
“These recurring acts of violence across our country – now worse than what occurs in some countries at war.”
He stressed the urgent need for Nigeria to declare war on insecurity of lives and property and to deploy every possible means to end the scourge.
He further urged the authorities to swiftly restore peace, bring the attackers to justice, and reassure Kwara State residents and all Nigerians that their lives are valued and will be protected
