Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed concern over the worsening security situation in the country, lamenting that political leaders are focusing more on the 2027 elections than the safety and welfare of Nigerians.
Obi, in a statement posted on his social media handle on Tuesday, decried the continued captivity of schoolchildren abducted in Borno and Oyo states, noting that two weeks after their kidnapping, the victims were yet to regain their freedom.
According to him, while the children remain in the hands of their captors, government attention appears to be centred on publicising the formation of a rescue team rather than securing their immediate release.
