Trump’s Threat: APC Accuses Obi Of Rejoicing Over Nigeria’s Predicament

Peter Obi’s remarks regarding President Donald Trump’s threat to invade Nigeria due to the supposed death of Christians have drawn criticism from the All Progressives Congress for “selective outrage.”

Seye Oladejo, the APC spokeswoman for Lagos, criticized Mr. Obi’s attempt to “turn a sensitive national issue into political theatre rather than demonstrate statesmanship” in a statement released on Tuesday.

The All Progressives Congress’s Lagos state chapter has witnessed Mr. Peter Obi’s most recent grandstanding in response to the United States’ designation of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern.” In trying times, true leaders protect their nation. According to the ruling party, “statesmen balance criticism with dignity and national pride.” However, Peter Obi only seems happy when Nigeria is under duress, seeing every obstacle as a chance for his political comeback. That’s not being patriotic. Election anguish is the source of this bitter politics.

Mr. Obi criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration in a statement on Monday for failing to halt the rampant violence carried out by terrorists and robbers, accusing the APC administration of being inept and uncommitted to improving the situation.

The Labour Party official “did not speak out of patriotic instinct, but out of public pressure and fear of further exposing his double standards,” according to the APC.

“The country saw what we anticipated when he eventually spoke: too little, too late, and too predictable. His response was devoid of any sense of unity, urgency, or sincerity.

“When his country’s reputation is at risk, a guy who professes to want national leadership shouldn’t need public prodding to speak up. The party continued, “Leadership is proactive, not reactive, and definitely not motivated by online agitation.”

The party maintained that the nation’s security issues were inherited and that Mr. Tinubu was dedicated to resolving them, even as they accused Mr. Obi of “rehearsing 2023 grievances and clinging to foreign commentary for political oxygen.”

Nigeria’s security issues were inherited; they didn’t begin yesterday. President Tinubu is bravely and strategically taking on them. Nigeria will not submit to people who want its problems to go worse. The party declared, “We implore the public to continue concentrating on the Renewed Hope agenda and reject individuals who profit politically from national difficulty.”
