Peter Obi Backs Northern Traditional Rulers' Security Declaration
Abuja, 16 April 2025 – Peter Obi, a prominent Nigerian political figure, has commended the Northern Traditional Rulers for their bold declaration addressing the escalating security crisis in northern Nigeria. The rulers’ collective statement, described as a courageous and timely intervention, has highlighted the urgent need to tackle the persistent killings and insecurity plaguing the region.
In a statement shared on social media, Obi expressed full support for the rulers’ assertion that “Enough is Enough” regarding the ongoing violence. He praised their commitment to working with regional governors to devise solutions, noting that their proximity to grassroots communities positions them uniquely to influence positive change.
Obi called on governments at all levels to collaborate closely with the traditional leaders, whose leadership reflects a deep concern for their people’s well-being. “Their collective voice underscores the urgent need for decisive action to protect lives and restore peace in our communities,” he said.
The former presidential candidate urged stakeholders to set aside political differences and unite in addressing the root causes of Nigeria’s security challenges. He described the rulers’ stance as a “clarion call” for collective action to build a safer and more inclusive nation.
Obi’s remarks have added momentum to growing demands for comprehensive reforms to restore stability. As Nigeria grapples with multifaceted security threats, the partnership between traditional institutions and government is seen as critical to fostering lasting peace.
