365Daily – Following another attack in Plateau State days after President Bola assured that there will be no recurrence, the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has slammed him for failing to keep yet another promise.
Obi made this known in a statement posted on X on Monday. He said the resurgence of killings within days of the President’s promise highlights a failure of leadership and responsibility. Recalling Tinubu’s earlier remark, ”This experience will not repeat itself,’’ Obi noted that the violence has since spread to other parts of the country, citing incidents in Nasarawa, Zamfara, Borno, Benue, and Kaduna states.
“Less than 24 hours after President Tinubu stood… and promised the grieving Nigerian citizens, ‘I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself,’ another brutal attack occurred,” he said.
“This represents a failure of leadership and responsibility, and sadly, Nigerians are paying for it with their lives,” he stated.
“The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and property; however, this responsibility is failing today. Nigerians are being slaughtered in their homes, in their communities, and in the very places they should feel safest,” Obi said.
“This is a national emergency. Nigeria is bleeding, and the situation is worsening and increasingly helpless.”
