Former presidential candidate under the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has decryed the recent killings in Kogi State, Taraba and Benue saying it’s cause is failed government.
In his statement on X formerly Twitter on Wednesday the former Anambra Governor said he is solidly behind the people of the affected states and shared in their grief.
While he called on the necessary authorities to do something about the situation, Obi said.
“What we are witnessing is not merely violence. It is a failure of leadership and a gaping wound in the soul of our nation.
“The bloodshed is staggering, yet the response remains weak and muted. As homes are destroyed and communities torn apart, we risk normalising the unacceptable: mass killings, displacement, and the collapse of law and order.
“These are not mere statistics, they are our fellow Nigerians. Each life lost is a tragedy that must not be ignored.
“When this duty is repeatedly ignored, when innocent citizens are butchered and nothing changes, we must ask ourselves: What kind of nation are we building? What future are we promising our children?.
“We need urgent action, not rhetoric. We need justice, not excuses. We as leaders must value human life and will defend it with everything we have.
“Nigeria cannot continue like this. This is not the Nigeria we deserve. We must end this bloodshed. We must reclaim our humanity.
