Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has urged Nigeria’s leaders to address the alarming rise in banditry, violence, and kidnappings in Abuja, and other parts of the country.
On his X page, formerly known as Twitter, Obi expressed concerns about the recent killing of two abductors, describing the incident as distressing and in need of urgent attention.
He emphasised, “It is now time for us, as leaders, to implement serious measures to tackle the situation.”
The former Anambra State Governor pointed out that despite Former President Muhammadu Buhari spending eight years in office with a focus on Security, Economy, and Corruption (SEC), the situation has worsened in all three areas.

Obi maintained that the current administration, upon assuming office, pledged to address the same issues of Security, Economy, and Corruption decisively. However, he stressed, “the situation is deteriorating even further.”
He highlighted that President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima should fulfill their campaign promises, reduce foreign trips, and prioritize creating a conducive environment for Nigerians before seeking foreign investment in the country.
“At the Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association held in Lagos in August 2022, the then Vice Presidential Candidate, Kashim Shettima categorically stated that if APC is elected, he as Vice President would be incharge of security, while the President as an expert in economy would handle the economy.
“Nigerians therefore now implore them to fulfil their campaign promises. Even if they do not achieve 100% results, we want to see 100% effort.
“It is now time to stop all forms of foreign trips from people in government, until we deal with the ugly situation facing us at home. No foreign investor or partner will like to invest in Nigeria, with the situation we now find ourselves in.
“We must make sincere efforts to end the spread of violence and insecurity in our nation, in order to make any meaningful progress.”
