Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to cut short his retreating in France and come back to find lasting solutions to the protracted insecurity, which has claimed over 150 lives, since he jetted to France two weeks ago.
Obi declared that he was compelled to urge him to come back by the increasing insecurity nationwide, “which entails that he (President Tinubu) immediately suspend his ongoing retreat in a foreign land and come home to address the overwhelming security situation across the country.”
According to Obi in a post on his X handle Wednesday, “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.”
Obi further cited that “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 full text of the post reads:
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
