In Rivers State, not a single life was lost—yet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rushed to declare a State of Emergency.
But in Kebbi, where 25 innocent schoolgirls were violently taken, and in a church in Kwara where worshippers were murdered and others kidnapped, the nation has heard nothing. Not a national broadcast. Not a reassuring word. Not even an acknowledgment of the grief tearing through the affected families.
How can any leader remain silent in the face of such horror?
How can the Presidency be swift when politics is at stake, yet slow—painfully slow—when Nigerian lives are hanging in the balance?
It forces one to ask: What truly matters to this administration?
Governance or 2027?
Power or people?
Mr. President, Nigerians must be alive for you to lead them. If terrorists continue to invade our schools and sanctuaries unchecked, who exactly will remain for you to govern?
A nation cannot thrive—indeed, it cannot exist—on the graves and tears of its own citizens.
If this government cannot muster the urgency, courage, and competence required to confront this escalating evil, then it is only honourable to step aside for those who can.
Nigeria is bleeding, and silence or watery statement is not leadership.
