The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election and a leading opposition figure ahead of the 2027 presidential election, Peter Obi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to either resign or abandon any plan to seek re-election, accusing his administration of failing to address the country’s worsening insecurity and showing what he described as a lack of compassion for victims.
Obi made the call in a statement released on Monday, following his visit to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over the prolonged captivity of schoolchildren abducted more than 50 days ago.
The former Anambra State governor said the Federal Government’s handling of the kidnapping and other security challenges reflected what he described as a collapse of governance, arguing that Nigerians were increasingly feeling abandoned.
According to him, the consequences of poor leadership were becoming more evident across the country.
He expressed sympathy with the government and people of Oyo State, saying they had every reason to feel disappointed over the continued captivity of the abducted schoolchildren.
