Akin Osuntokun, the Director General of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, has called on Nigerians to shift their attention from politically driven tribal conflicts orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and focus on addressing the pervasive issue of corruption within the country.
In a recent statement, Osuntokun emphasized the urgency of investigating the actions of the Nigerian military to identify the underlying factors that have impeded its effectiveness, particularly in light of the unprovoked killings of over 160 individuals in communities across Plateau State.
Osuntokun highlighted the importance of uncovering and addressing the forces that are capitalizing on the ongoing terrorism plaguing Nigeria. He expressed confidence in the capabilities of the Nigerian military to combat the threats posed by terrorists but underscored the need to identify and overcome the obstacles hindering its operations.
The seasoned political strategist stressed that rather than being embroiled in politically motivated tribal disputes spearheaded by the APC, Nigerians should collectively prioritize combating the rampant corruption perpetuated by influential politicians. He urged citizens to unite in challenging the destructive impact of corruption, recognizing that it poses a significant threat to the nation and impacts all individuals indiscriminately.
Osuntokun’s impassioned plea serves as a reminder of the critical need to direct attention and resources towards tackling systemic corruption, a common enemy that transcends tribal and political affiliations. As Nigeria grapples with multifaceted challenges, Osuntokun’s call to action resonates as a unifying message, transcending regional divides and underscoring the imperative of prioritizing the nation’s integrity and prosperity.
