The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has decried the collapsed security in Nigeria, stating that the country is bleeding because those elected to protect the nation have chosen comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.
In a post via vis verified X handle late on Sunday, Obi said
the past 10 days in Nigeria have witnessed unprecedented negative news, a level
of chaos, insecurity, and institutional decay that should trouble the
conscience of all the leaders.
The former Anambra state governor decried that Nigeria is
going through troubling times, not by fate, but by the collective leadership
failures that allow insecurity, lawlessness, and institutional decay to thrive.
According to him, each day confronts the nation with a new
tragedy and a new reminder that the beloved country is drifting amid a clear
absence of competent, compassionate, responsive and responsible leadership.
“We have all watched a nation blessed with people of
strength and resilience drift into avoidable disorder. We should be asking
ourselves: Are we cursed, or are we the curse?
“And just as I was speaking about this, I received yet
another devastating report about the abduction of 13 female farmers in
Askira-Uba LGA of Borno State today by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP Terrorists.
“No serious nation survives on excuses, indifference, or
absentee leadership. What we are witnessing is not inevitable, it is the direct
consequence of us leaders not valuing human life. Nigeria is bleeding because
those elected to protect the nation have chosen comfort over courage, politics
over people, and power over purpose.
“We the leaders must remember that governance is not a
title, it is a duty to protect every child, every community, and every citizen.
We need competence, compassion, and a government that shows up when it matters
the most.
“To every Nigerian shaken in these past 10 days, my heart is
with you. You deserve safety, you deserve peace. We deserve a government that
values our lives above politics. Nigeria must rise again,” he tweeted.
