Peter Obi Lampoons Tinubu’s Govt Over Jos Killings

Peter Obi, former presidential candidate has condemned the latest wave of violence in Plateau State, warning that Nigeria is gradually becoming desensitised to the loss of human lives.

Obi made his position known via his official X handle seen by Politics Nigeria after reports of a deadly attack in the Angwan Rukuba area of Jos North Local Government Area.

Reacting to the incident, he said, “Arriving back from my visit to Kano this evening, I received disturbing news and images from Jos of a painful attack at the Angwa Rukuba area, Jos North, Plateau State.”

He expressed concern over the recurring nature of such attacks, stating, “The recurring loss of innocent lives in Plateau State reminds us, yet again, of the insecurity innocent citizens face in our nation without any protection.”

Obi added that the situation reflects a dangerous trend, noting, “These continuous devastating headlines are a reminder of a nation that is steadily normalising the loss of its own people.”

Criticising the lack of decisive action, he said, “It is unacceptable that these attacks happen with such frequency, and even more unacceptable that there seems to be no decisive, sustained strategy to end them. No nation or leader normalises tragedy.”

Calling for urgent change, Obi declared, “The safety of Nigerian lives must become non-negotiable, we cannot continue to mourn what should have been prevented. Enough is enough.”

He concluded with a message of sympathy and hope, saying, “My heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones.

“May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and their memories never be forgotten. I pray that we get a country where the loss of lives is no longer a recurring reality. We cannot continue like this.”
