The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has again decried worsening security situation in the country.
In a post on his official X handle, Obi lamented the gruesome killing of worshippers in Katsina state, describing it as “devastating”.
The former Anambra state governor charged leaders to value the lives of Nigerians, stating that they could not continue to treat these incidents as ordinary statistics.
“The tragic news from Katsina has grown even more devastating, as the search continues with over 50 bodies now recovered.
“This horrendous act goes beyond an attack on innocent worshippers, it is another painful reminder of the worsening state of insecurity in our nation.
“I repeat that unless we urgently tackle the root causes of insecurity, we will continue to mourn needless losses,” he wrote.
