Insecurity: Obi Questions Tinubu’s Forest Guards Approval for Oyo

  • Peter Obi, Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, criticized President Bola Tinubu's approval of recruiting about 1,000 forest guards for Oyo State as a reactive and poorly planned approach to insecurity management.
  • Obi expressed concern that Nigeria's insecurity crisis affects nearly all states, with over 10,000 deaths since 2023, attributing it to systemic leadership failure.
  • He questioned whether similar approvals would be extended to all states uniformly and raised concerns about potential impacts on regional security bodies like the Amotekun Corps in the South-West.
  • Obi urged a holistic, ecosystem-based approach addressing governance, economic development, youth employment, and social stability instead of making ad hoc decisions to tackle insecurity effectively.
