Peter Obi Urges Bandits To Release Children And Safeguard Our Tomorrow

Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for the 2027 election, has urged kidnappers who have been holding schoolchildren and their teachers for longer than two weeks to release them.

In a post on X on Wednesday, Mr. Obi made the plea, voicing concern over reports and pictures depicting the victims’ conditions.

“I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.”

“I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow.”

“To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children – sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them.”

“Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families.”

We earnestly call on the bandits to show compassion and humanity by releasing the children they have abducted. Let these innocent kids reconnect with their families and loved ones, and allow them to continue their journey towards a brighter future. It is our collective hope that peace and understanding will prevail, and that the safety and well-being of our children will always be prioritized.
