Following the tragic abduction of schoolchildren in Kebbi State, Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has once again criticized the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria, referencing a past controversial remark made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who once described Nigeria in a negative light during an international discussion.
Obi noted that incidents like the recent Kebbi abduction only reinforce the urgent need for competent leadership, decisive security reforms, and a government that prioritizes the protection of its citizens. He lamented that continued kidnappings, killings, and community attacks have created a global perception that Nigeria is losing control of its internal security challenges.
Addressing Nigerians, Obi emphasized that the country’s repeated tragedies should not be normalized, urging leaders at every level to act swiftly and responsibly. He stressed that the safety of schoolchildren, villagers, and commuters must be treated as a national emergency, not just a news headline.
His remarks have sparked widespread reactions across social media in Nigeria, the United States, and the diaspora, with many citizens expressing frustration, fear, and exhaustion over the insecurity they face daily. Others echoed Obi’s concerns, calling for accountability and an immediate overhaul of the nation’s security architecture.
As the country awaits updates on the rescue efforts in Kebbi, pressure continues to mount on the government to take firm and effective action to prevent future tragedies and restore global confidence in Nigeria.
