Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has questioned the Federal Government's handling of the security situation in Oyo State, saying the presidency did not respond quickly enough to the crisis.
Obi argued that incidents involving public safety require immediate attention from the nation's leadership, stressing that delayed action can undermine public confidence in the government's ability to protect citizens.
He called for a more proactive approach to addressing security challenges, urging authorities to act swiftly whenever lives and property are at risk.
According to Obi, effective leadership is measured not only by policy decisions but also by the speed and seriousness with which emergencies are handled.
His comments have sparked fresh debate over the Federal Government's response to security issues, with many Nigerians continuing to call for faster and more coordinated interventions during periods of crisis.
The remarks come as concerns over security in Oyo State remain a subject of national discussion.
