Peter Obi Condemns Recent Bandit Attacks, Suggests Unity Among Politicians to Find Solution

Labor Party’s Peter Obi has condemned recent attacks in different parts of Nigeria in the past few days.

Obi decried that the government rather than try to solve the insecurity issue in the country by uniting, is consumed by internal political crisis.

He wrote; “A few weeks ago, when President Trump described our country as “now disgraced,” many were outraged. Yet, how can we dispute it when, within a single week, 25 people were kidnapped, and one of our generals along with other officers was killed? Today, we witness another troubling terror attack in Kwara State. Rather than uniting in this critical moment, we are consumed by internal wrangling, party squabbles, and distractions.

“Look closely at what is happening in the PDP, the Labour Party, SDP, and other political formations—crises deliberately orchestrated by a government that should be embracing everyone so we can unite in this troubling period.”

He recounted how under the then President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, how internal political crisis was handled adding that the case currently is the opposite.

He stated; “I am reminded of a pivotal moment under President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. During an internal crisis in my then-political party, he instructed the INEC Chairman, Professor Maurice Iwu, that the stability of every political party—not just the ruling party—was essential for democracy. No party was to be undermined; all were to function  within the law.

“What we witness today is the opposite. The current government seems more intent on weakening parties than strengthening our democracy—seeking to fragment the PDP, Labour Party, SDP, and others.

“In democratic nations, opposition is respected, elections reflect the will of the people, and governance involves  carrying everyone along for peace and prosperity.
