The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) was on Saturday called upon to declare war against insecurity following incessant reports of kidnapping sweeping across the country.
The call was made by the former governor of Anambra State and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi through a statement on X.
According to Peter Obi, “When I say we should declare war on the economy, power, and insecurity, some people spin the narrative, while others complain. But what else can we do?
“In the last 24 hours, several people have been kidnapped across Nigeria, including about 20 dental students from Maiduguri and Jos in Benue State.
“An Anambra State Commissioner and his wife were abducted in Edo State, and others travelling with them were killed.
“These are just a few of the many tragic incidents happening across the country.
“We cannot continue living like this. It’s time for bold action, collective resolve, and a united front against these challenges.
“We must declare war on this massive insecurity and other ills that threaten our society and work tirelessly to build a safer, more prosperous, and just society for all.”
Peter Obi’s outcry is coming less than 24 hours after the kidnapping of the Anambra State Commissioner for Youths Development, Patrick Aghamba, and his wife.
