Return home, Nigerians are dying Obi tells Tinubu
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Labour party flagbearer for the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to put off his retreat in France, come back home, and tackle the killings and communal clashes going on in the country.

This request was made known through a statement posted on his official X page on Wednesday.

Obi made this request four days after the presidency debunks rumor that Tinubu left the country to see doctors in France while insisting that it was a working visit.

In the post, Obi said “I am compelled at this time in our lives as a nation to call on our retreating President’s attention to the security challenges at home, which entails that he immediately suspend his ongoing retreat in a foreign land and come home to address the overwhelming security situation across the country.

“This urgent call has become necessary following the rising incidents of crimes and criminalities all over Nigeria with an apparent absence of governance.

“In the 2 weeks you have been away, over 150 Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity across Nigeria, especially in Plateau and Zamfara states.

“The repeated pipeline explosions in the Niger Delta, further reflect a nation in distress.

“In the North East, Borno state leaders are bemoaning the return of insurgency with troops and civilians being killed randomly. In the South East, the story is the same: killings and abduction.

“Amid all these, the CEO of the troubling company called Nigeria is retreating far away land in France from the Company’s headquarters.

“The primary duty of any government is securing the lives and property of its citizens and one wonders the type of retreat going on in another country where peace has been secured by their leaders while blood continues to flow in our country.

“The fight for a better Nigeria is not about individuals; it is about ensuring that every citizen can see, feel, and benefit from the policies and decisions of those in power.

“I, therefore like to urge Mr President to quickly suspend whatever he is doing in France and rush home to take responsibility by addressing these disturbing issues.

“That is the new Nigeria that the nation seeks.”
