“Traitors in Power” – Obi Reacts to Zulum’s Claim of Terrorist Informants in Politics and Military

Following Governor Babagana Zulum’s alarming revelation that Boko Haram informants exist within Nigeria’s political leadership and armed forces, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi has issued a searing response, condemning the alleged betrayal at the highest levels of power.

“We cannot win the war against terrorism while traitors sit in the corridors of power, feeding off the blood of innocent Nigerians,” Obi said in a statement on Thursday that has drawn wide attention.

“We cannot continue to bury our citizens while those responsible hide behind the veil of politics and impunity. This is not just a security failure, it is a moral collapse.”

Obi urged the federal government to treat the allegation with utmost urgency. He warned that the common pattern of inaction following explosive revelations has only served to strengthen what he described as “the enemies within.”

“The silence and inaction that often greet such explosive disclosures only serve to embolden the enemies within,” Obi said. “The Nigerian people demand answers. More importantly, we demand action.”

The former Anambra State Governor commended Governor Zulum for his bravery in speaking out, calling it a rare moment of truth in Nigerian leadership.

“Governor Zulum has done what few in power dare to do: he has spoken the truth. That truth must not die in the news cycle. It must be pursued, investigated, and confronted with courage and justice.”

Obi concluded with a call to national conscience, insisting that Nigeria cannot be held hostage by those entrusted to defend her.

“Let us rise to it with courage, with clarity, and with a commitment to reclaim our country from the shadows. A new Nigeria is possible.”
