The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has lamented the security situation in Nigeria.
In a post on his official X handle, he maintained that any government that claims to be responsible and compassionate will seek after the security and survival of its citizens.
Obi lamented the killings in Kogi, Plateau and in Benue State which has been reoccurring. He charged the government to intervene as the blood of innocent are crying out for justice.
His post reads,”Following my earlier remarks on the security situation in Benue State on May 28th, 2025, I would like to once again extend my heartfelt condolences to the good people of Benue State over the tragic and senseless killings that continue to plague their communities.
“The pain, anguish, and sorrow being experienced across Benue are not only heartbreaking but also a grave indictment of a nation that is repeatedly failing its own people. Just a few days ago, I commented about the growing wave of violence and bloodshed across our country, particularly in Benue, Kogi, and Plateau States.
“Sadly, those fears have once again become our tragic reality, as communities are attacked and innocent lives are lost. This is not just unacceptable, it is intolerable.
“The blood of innocent Nigerians cries out for justice. The security and survival of our people must be the foremost responsibility of any government that claims to be responsible and compassionate.
“My heart is with every grieving family in Benue and across Nigeria. I stand with you, not just in words, but in the call for urgent, deliberate, and comprehensive action. A safe Nigeria is POssible.”
