Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says the recent redesignation of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” by US President Donald Trump should give every well-meaning citizen serious concern.
In a statement on Monday, Obi said the declaration by the US, indicating possible military action, underscored the gravity of Nigeria’s worsening security crisis.
The former Anambra governor said the country’s situation is avoidable while lamenting the loss of lives and destruction of property across the country.
Citing Amnesty International’s report, Obi claimed that over 10,000 people have been killed since May 2023, a development he called “unacceptable and heartbreaking.”
“The senseless and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to bring it to a stop,” he wrote on X.
Mr. Peter Obi noted that Nigeria’s deteriorating security landscape reflects “a failure of leadership, not fate”, insisting that with competent and committed governance, such carnage could have been prevented.
