Obi Criticizes FG And Leaders Over Rising Insecurity
Peter Obi has raised concern over the rising wave of violence across the country, saying national priorities appear misplaced at a critical time.
He lamented that while political actors are already preoccupied with strategies for the 2027 elections, insecurity continues to claim lives and displace families in different parts of Nigeria.
“It is profoundly disturbing that while we, the politicians, continue to obsess over the 2027 elections—spending our energy scheming about how to capture, grab, and run the next election—the first two months of 2026 have reportedly seen the kill!ng of over 1,000 Nigerians and the abduction of several thousand others.”
Obi’s remark adds to growing public anxiety over safety, as many citizens call for urgent action to curb attacks, kidnappings and other violent crimes before political campaigns gather full steam.
