The Digest:
Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has criticised President Bola Tinubu over renewed attacks across Nigeria, recalling Tinubu's assurance that the violence in Jos would not recur. In an X post, Obi quoted Tinubu's earlier remark: "'This Experience Will Not Repeat Itself' – another presidential promise fails in less than 24 hours." He noted attacks in Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South, as well as Nasarawa, Zamfara, Borno, Benue, and Kaduna states, calling the situation a "national emergency" and "failure of leadership."
Key Points:
- Tinubu's promise to Plateau victims was broken within 24 hours.
- Violence has since spread to multiple states across Nigeria.
- Obi declares a "national emergency" as citizens are killed in their homes.
- The former governor says the government's primary duty to protect lives is failing.
- The criticism adds political pressure on Tinubu over security failures.
