Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the past February 25_ 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi has called on Federal Government to rescue thousands of Nigerians trapped in Sudan.
About 4000 Nigerians are trapped as a result of fighting between forces loyal to Sudan’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his Deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
According to Mr. Peter Obi in his verified Twitter handle Sunday April 2023 stated thus;
“I’m sad and concerned by the reports that Nigerians trapped in Sudan have not been evacuated. While we understand the extreme challenges in Sudan, we deeply implore the Federal Government of Nigeria to expedite all efforts to rescue about 4000 Nigerians that are mostly students in Sudan to safety. Moreover, as the Sudanese crisis in not a natural disaster that happened suddenly, it will be sad to lose any Nigerian to the conflict, especially now that we need all hands to create and sustain a New Nigeria.
“Since it is the statutory responsibility of FGN to protect Nigerians at home in Nigeria and abroad, it is important that we attend to such issues with more deserving proactiveness and commitment as the life of every Nigerian is sacred and important. A New Nigeria is really imperative and Possible. -PO”
