“Incompetence And Mismanagement” — Peter Obi Blames APC For Nigeria’s ‘Country Of Particular Concern’ Status

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, on Monday said the designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) is a consequence of the nation’s lack of competent and committed leadership, as well as poor and imprudent deployment of available resources.
Obi, in a statement on his X handle, said:
“The recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ (CPC) and indicating possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern.
“There is no doubt that Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity, with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since May 2023, and as I have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable. All efforts must be made to bring it to a stop.
“It is equally important to state that this terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent leadership and governance. While insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism, and passion on the part of the APC-led government to effectively govern, galvanize, and lead Nigeria to a state where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed or killed — a nation where peace, truth, and justice reign.
“As democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and other plausible engagements by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must work in concert and expeditiously toward that purpose.”
