 Obi: APC’s poor leadership deepened insecurity — FG, US must engage over watchlist


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.

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.
