Peter Obi has urged President Bola Tinubu to suspend ongoing retreat and return home from France as Nigeria is bleeding with the killings in Plateau, Benue and other States.
“I would 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.”
Speaking on Wednesday, Obi, who was the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, said the primary duty of any government is to protect the lives and properties of its citizens.
“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.”
He stated that his call for the return of the President has become necessary following the criminality and killings going on in different parts of the country. He noted that the fight for a better Nigeria is where policies and programs of the government can be felt by every citizen.
His letter 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 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.
That is the new Nigeria that the nation seeks.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO”
