Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46194, member: 636"] Former presidential candidate Peter Obi urged President Bola Tinubu to focus on protecting Nigerian lives rather than building projects. Obi made his appeal after suspected terrorists killed more than 100 people and soldiers in Zamfara State. The Labour Party leader said the country faces a war situation that demands immediate action. He warned that Nigeria cannot continue ignoring the deadly violence happening across different regions. Obi described the bloodshed as a crisis that goes beyond normal political debates. The politician compared Nigeria's death rates to nations fighting official wars. He said violent killings happen more often in Nigeria than in countries experiencing active conflicts. Obi stressed that government leaders must accept the serious nature of these attacks. The former Anambra governor called the current security situation undeniable and urgent. He demanded that officials stop pretending the violence represents normal criminal activity. Obi criticized government priorities that emphasize ceremonies and ribbon-cutting events over citizen safety. He said leaders should spend their time working to save lives instead of attending public ceremonies. The politician argued that infrastructure development cannot proceed when people face constant threats from armed groups. He urged the president to shift resources toward military operations and security improvements. Obi concluded that protecting Nigerian citizens must become the government's primary mission until the violence ends. [/QUOTE]
