*Reveals president yet to contact Seyi Makinde since Oyo school abduction

Sunday Ehigiator

Presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his handling of school abductions and the worsening insecurity across the country, calling on him to either resign or refrain from seeking re-election.

Obi made the remarks in a statement on X, following a visit to Ibadan, where he met with Seyi Makinde over the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State, whom he said had remained in captivity for more than 50 days.

Describing the incident as a “Nigerian tragedy,” Obi said the continued captivity of the pupils reflected a failure of leadership and compassion by the federal government.
