Plateau Attack: Tinubu govt. should wake to his responsibility of securing lives, properties of Nigerians, says Peter Obi

Peter Obi of the Labour Party has charged President Bola Tinubu-led government to wake up to its responsibilities of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians following the Plateau attack that left many dead.
“These repeated attacks, particularly in Plateau, have become too many to make any discerning mind worrisome,” Mr Obi said. “I call on the government to rise to its responsibilities of securing the lives and property of Nigerians with corresponding actions.”
He added, “Above all, we must take every necessary measure to drastically reduce insecurity in the nation by investing in the critical areas of human development; education, health, and lifting people out of poverty.”
Mr Obi, in a statement shared on his X handle on Wednesday, condemned the bandits’ attack on Zurak Village in Wase Local Government of Plateau state while condoling the state government and families of those killed in the attack.
“I sincerely condole with the Governor of Plateau, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, the government, and the people of Plateau State, especially the bereaved families, over this tragic occurrence,” Mr Obi said.
At least 40 persons were killed as bandits raided Zurak, a village in the Wase Local Government area of Plateau state, on Monday.
However, two days after the Zurak Village attack, Mr Tinubu’s government has remained silent.
In recent times, Plateau communities have been under attack as bandits continue to raid, kill harmless citizens and torch houses.
An attack that lasted two days last December left about 150 dead and hundreds displaced.
