Plateau, Borno killings: Stop retreat in France, return to Nigeria – Peter Obi tells Tinubu

 The Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi,
on Wednesday, charged President Bola Tinubu to urgently suspend his retreat in
France and return home to tackle the insecurity challenges confronting
Nigerians.

 

Obi said over 150 Nigerians have been killed in the last two
weeks that Tinubu left Nigeria for France.

 

While in France, gunmen had attacked communities in Plateau
and Borno States, killing several people.

 

Posting on X, Obi wrote: “Mr. President, Domestic problems
Beacons.

 

“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. A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO”
