The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has said that the recurring killings in Nigeria by terrorists are worse than those in some countries at war.
Obi‘s remarks come following the recent killings of over 100 people in Kwara State.
“Every loss of innocent life is tragic, and these killings represent a major failure for us as a nation,” he decried and extended his condolences to the families of the victims, the affected communities, as well as the residents and government of the state.
“These recurring acts of violence across our country – now worse than what occurs in some countries at war,” Obi asserted.
He stressed the urgent need for Nigeria to declare war on insecurity of lives and property — and to deploy every possible means to end the scourge.
He also called on the relevant authorities to act swiftly to restore peace, bring the perpetrators to justice, and reassure the people of Kwara State, as well as all Nigerians, that their lives matter and must be protected.
