Insecurity: If Government Can't Save Us, We Have Right To Call On International Community – Former President Obasanjo.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that Nigerians have the right to seek help from the international community if the government fails in its constitutional duty to protect them.

Obasanjo stated this during the 2025 Plateau Unity Christmas Carol, held at the Ten Commandments Altar in Jos, where he attended as a special guest on the invitation of the Plateau State Government.

If our government cannot do it, we have the right to call on the international community to do for us what our government cannot do, and we should have no apology for that,” he said.

According to him, with modern technology, including satellites and drones, criminals should not have the freedom to commit crimes and disappear.

Why are we apologising? Why are we negotiating? The government must stop the killing of Nigerians. We are being killed, we are tired, and we want the killing to stop,” he added.

The former president also expressed concern over the rising wave of insecurity across the country.

Tinubu government’s failure is unprecedented, never seen at this level before in Nigeria’s history

Tinubu you are goner. Most useless president in the whole world
Re: Obasanjo: If Govt Can't Save Us, We Have Right To Call International Community by Zionmdde: 11:15pm On Nov 28, 2025
Very simple
The situation is getting worse yet some people can only think about politics and "it will paint tinubu bad"

I don't know the kind of human beings we have in this country. You can even see the northerners mostly affected saying no to help from US because of religion

You're taking the peacefulness of millions of Nigerians for granted, because if this level of insecurity happened in many other countries I know, by now, there would've been hundreds of armed militia groups rise up in defense of their people and seize control of different parts of the country.

For your information, that was the case in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Central African Republic, DRC Congo etc. Channel your energy towards pushing government to act fast before things get out of hand. I have told you this multiple times but you keep chasing rats in a burning house.

Tinubu has a very short window to solve this problem before America steps in
After they step in no one knows how or when it will end
But the result maybe several countries broken from the old Nigeria

So, you just want more anarchy like exists in some of the countries you emotioned that caused illegal migrants to invade USA?

Hope you've heard USA don't want you. So be prepared to chase your rats in Togo.

The question needs to be asked.
What deal did Tinubu strike with the Fulani that they have used as leverage to increase the frequency of their attacks and he can say nothing?

Every of Tinubu's ministers who bothered to speak regarding the increase in terrorism have ALL made excuses for them. The minister of defense even said it is impossible to bomb them because the forests they stay in is thick! Madness!

Tinubu will rather have Nigerians keep dying so he can rule.

OBJ KNOWS THE FULANI, THE IGBOS AND THE MILITARY MORE THAN TINUBU. BOTH OF THEM ARE YORUBAS AND BOTH OF THEM WISH TO BE HONORABLY REGARDED AS "ODUDUIWAS".

Accept US President offer to help Nigeria with military action, NO!


You know Nigerian military is compromised already, oya hire foreign mercenaries to help you curtail the spiraling insecurity, NO!

Sign the Forest Guard act into law and fund states to immediately recruit and deploy Forest Guards who must be indigenes of the LGA they will be operating, NO!


Sign State Police into law to see if it can help curtail the cross-boundary banditry and Fulani terrorism? NO!


Oya give the Nigerian military and security a deadline to flush out the terrorists, bandits and kidnappers so Nigeria can have peace again or face some serious consequences? NO!


Step down and allow someone bolder and courageous to do the job? NO! Instead you are planning for 2027 reelection when the people you are governing are not even sure of being alive till 2027.


What do we call this attitude if not witchcraft?

Na wa oh

You mean patience and warning on the many lives being lost each Day and 100s being kidnapped daily

It's people like you that see tinubu praises in even the worst situations. I wonder what goes on in your head on daily basis
