Re- \u201c Obi Tackles FG, Rejects Life Sentence For Nnamdi Kanu \u201c<\/p>\n
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) strongly condemns the latest reckless theatrics of Peter Obi, who has shamelessly inserted himself into the ongoing judicial process involving Nnamdi Kanu merely to claw back relevance in a political space that has long moved past him.<\/p>\n
Obi\u2019s misguided attempt to \u201ctackle\u201d the Federal Government and reject a valid court ruling is nothing more than the cry of a man whose political career is in its last embarrassing throes. He is desperately fishing in troubled waters, hoping to harvest sympathy that the Nigerian people have already denied him at the polls.<\/p>\n
Obi Has Become the Patron Saint of Double Standards<\/p>\n
Only a man steeped in political confusion can refuse to condemn IPOB\u2019s murderous activities yet preach morality to the Nigerian state.
\nOnly a man drowning in irrelevance would pretend to care about justice while ignoring the innocent citizens maimed, slaughtered, beheaded, extorted, and silenced under the reign of terror unleashed by IPOB militants.<\/p>\n
Peter Obi\u2019s sudden moral awakening is fraudulent.
\nHis selective outrage is insulting.
\nHis attempt to dress up terrorism in the garb of sentiment is dangerous.<\/p>\n
The Salient Question: Why the Shameless Inconsistency?<\/p>\n
The salient question that Peter Obi must answer is simple: Why the inconsistency in his position?
\nHow does he condemn Boko Haram and their ilk wholeheartedly in one breath, only to embrace, defend, and rationalize IPOB in another?
\nThis two-faced political morality exposes his deep-seated bias, his hollow rhetoric, and his desperate ambition disguised as compassion.<\/p>\n
We strongly recommend that Obi drops his ethnic blinders, read the judgement without emotions, and in good conscience return to Nigerians with the truth about his sincerity and his innermost desires for the nation he claims he wants to lead.
\nThere is nothing wrong in boldly admitting he is a regional champion committed to defending \u201chis own\u201d- for good or for bad.
\nWhat is wrong, however, is deceiving Nigerians with feigned neutrality and hypocritical sermonizing.
\nEnough of the deceit. Enough of the pretense.<\/p>\n
If Obi truly believes his own words, let him first explain:
\n\u2022 Why he maintained criminal silence when the South-East burned.
\n\u2022 Why he could not condemn IPOB even once with clarity or courage.
\n\u2022 Why he continually plays both sides of the fence- leader by day, sympathizer by night.<\/p>\n
Nigeria Will Not Be Governed by Obi\u2019s Emotions or His Ethnic Calculations<\/p>\n
Obi\u2019s rant is a pathetic audition for 2027 – another failed attempt to resurrect a political project that is now beyond resuscitation.
\nHe can rant from morning till night; national security will never be placed in the fragile hands of sentimentalists who only speak when their political calculators beep.<\/p>\n
Nigeria will not negotiate its sovereignty to please a man battling POLITICAL MENOPAUSE.<\/p>\n
A Failed Leader Seeking Relevance in National Disaster<\/p>\n
It is laughable- almost tragic – that Obi has found courage only at a time when Kanu\u2019s fate is tied to a lawful judicial process. Where was this courage when IPOB criminals turned markets into war zones, instilled fear in school children, and shut down the economic lifeline of his region every Monday?<\/p>\n
His cowardice then disqualifies him from pontificating now.<\/p>\n
Obi Should Face His Political Ruins<\/p>\n
Before Obi lectures Nigeria on justice, he should explain:
\n\u2022 The disintegration of his political movement.
\n\u2022 The desertion of his supporters.
\n\u2022 The slow but steady collapse of his overhyped political myth.<\/p>\n
Obi is not fighting for justice.
\nHe is fighting for visibility.
\nHe is fighting for political oxygen.
\nHe is fighting to avoid total oblivion.<\/p>\n
There Must Be a Limit to Insensitive Free-Style Politics<\/p>\n
And Nigerians must be alert to this dangerous brand of free-style politics –
\nthe type that seeks the destruction of what you cannot have;
\nthe type that weaponizes ethnic sentiments, insecurity, and national trauma just to stay politically relevant.<\/p>\n
It will be most unfortunate if this, in the fullness of time, becomes a classic example of:
\n\u201cShow me your friends, and I will tell you who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lagos APC Stands Firm<\/p>\n
We reiterate:
\nNigeria\u2019s national security is non-negotiable.
\nJudicial processes must never be dictated by politicians in need of headlines.
\nThe Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will continue to handle matters of treason, terrorism, and national stability with firmness, maturity, and constitutional authority.<\/p>\n
Peter Obi\u2019s tantrums belong in the dustbin of political irrelevance.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n
The Lagos APC urges Nigerians to treat Obi\u2019s statement as what it is:
\na self-serving cry from a man watching his political walls collapse.<\/p>\n
Nigeria must not and will not be bullied by the theatrics of a desperate politician.<\/p>\n
