The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has commended northern traditional rulers for taking bold steps on the menacing security challenges in the region and the country.
The former two-term governor of Anambra State said this in reaction to the “Enough is Enough” declaration of the royal fathers on the security situation.
He said that their courageous steps were needed to find a lasting solution to the menace.
Writing on his X handle, Obi said: “I would like to sincerely thank the Northern Traditional Rulers for their courageous and timely emergency declaration of the security situation in the region.
“I cannot agree less with them that ‘Enough is Enough’ regarding the persistent killings and insecurity plaguing our nation.
“Their collective voice, as reported, underscores the urgent need for decisive action to protect lives and restore peace in our communities.

“Let us work together to build a Nigeria where every citizen feels safe, valued, and empowered.”
