Obi Slams Tinubu Over Europe Vacation: "Nigerian Lives Matter More" Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has harshly criticized President Bola Tinubu for embarking on a 10-day vacation to France and the United Kingdom, just days after returning from a two-week official trip to Japan and Brazil. Obi, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), accused Tinubu of avoiding pressing national issues such as insecurity, hunger, and the recent boat tragedy in Niger State that claimed over 60 lives. “Where is the compassion for Nigerian lives, Mr. President? No holiday is more important than the lives you swore to protect,” Obi stated. He highlighted that 79% of Nigerians face food insecurity, and recent global rankings list Nigeria as the worst place to give birth and to live, yet the president continues to spend significant time abroad. Obi urged for sacrifice, empathy, and on-ground leadership, saying true governance means being present with the people during crises—not vacationing abroad. #LeadershipMatters #NigeriaFirst #AccountabilityNow

🚨 Exposed: Alleged Embezzlement of Police Funds Under IGP Egbetokun Sparks Outrage Recent reports have surfaced alleging that the quarterly allocation of ₦4 million (approximately $2,500) designated for state police commands has been misappropriated by the Police Management Team under the leadership of Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun. This revelation has intensified concerns over financial mismanagement within the Nigeria Police Force. Further compounding these concerns, an investigation highlighted that divisional police offices across the country operate on meager quarterly budgets ranging between ₦15,000 and ₦30,000. This inadequate funding reportedly hampers effective policing and may inadvertently foster environments where corruption can thrive.  Adding to the controversy, the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) has been embroiled in a financial scandal. Members of the PCRC have called on IGP Egbetokun to investigate the National Chairman, Mogaji Olaniyan, over allegations of misappropriating funds totaling over ₦60 million. Despite petitions submitted, there has been little to no action taken on the matter.   These allegations have led to public outcry, with citizens and civil society organizations demanding transparency and accountability within the police force. The hashtag #EgbetokunMustGo has been trending on social media platforms, reflecting the growing demand for leadership change. #EgbetokunMustGo #PoliceReform #AccountabilityNow #EndCorruption
