Obi in a post on his official X handle described such as betrayal at the highest level.
He urged the federal government to treat Zulum’s confession with the utmost urgency, pursued, investigated, and confronted with courage and justice.
Obi maintained that Nigeria cannot be held hostage by the very people entrusted to defend her.
His post reads,”The recent outcry by Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state that Boko Haram informants and terrorists exist among our politicians and within our armed forces is a damning indictment of the state of our nation. It is not just shocking, it is devastating. And if true, it confirms what many Nigerians have long feared: that our country is bleeding not only from external attacks but from betrayal at the highest levels.

“Let me say without hesitation: anyone who aids, abets, protects, or collaborates with terrorists, no matter their rank, title, or political office, is a traitor to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Such individuals have no place in our institutions and must be identified, exposed, and prosecuted without delay.
“We cannot win the war against terrorism while traitors sit in the corridors of power, feeding off the blood of innocent Nigerians. 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.
“The federal government must treat this revelation with the utmost urgency. Words are not enough. The silence and inaction that often greet such explosive disclosures only serve to embolden the enemies within. The Nigerian people demand answers. More importantly, we demand action. 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. Nigeria cannot afford to be held hostage by the very people 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,” he added.
