Peter Obi Reacts To Kwara Church Attack, Urges Politicians To Unite Against Insecurity

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, reacts to church attack in Kwara State and has called on Nigeria’s politicians and leaders at all levels to unite and fight insecurity ravaging the country.

Obi described the country as under siege, citing the kidnapping of 25 people and the killing of a general and other officers in a single week as evidence of a security system in crisis.

He accused the government of deliberately weakening opposition parties rather than strengthening Nigeria’s democracy, warning that such actions leave citizens vulnerable and democracy fragile.

Reacting, the former Anambra state governor said, “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 witnessed another troubling terror attack in Kwara State. Rather than uniting in this critical moment, we are consumed by internal wrangling, party squabbles, and distractions.”
