A devastating incident occurred in Ibadan, where innocent children were trampled to death during a Christmas celebration. This heart- wrenching tragedy has sparked widespread outrage and calls for action. Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour party, has weighed in on the incident, condemning the systemic failures that led to this calamity.
Obi’ s statement highlights the harsh realities of Nigerian society, where the scramble for basic necessities like food, drinks, and small gifts often leads to unimaginable sorrow. He lamented the fact that children, who symbolize hope and the future, lost their lives in pursuit of something as simple as Christmas gifts.
The former presidential candidate attributed the tragedy to deep- seated issues of poverty, inequality, and desperation afflicting the nation. He also criticized the broader failure in event planning, crowd control, and the fundamental duty to safeguard human lives.
Obi called for deep reflection and decisive action from leaders at all levels. He emphasized the need to prioritize policies that address poverty, inequality, and equitable resource access.

As the nation mourns the loss of these young lives, Obi urged Nigerians to commit to building a society where such incidents are unthinkable. He believes that the measure of a nation’ s greatness lies in its care for the vulnerable, and this moment should inspire us to create a safer, more inclusive Nigeria.
In conclusion, the tragedy in Ibadan serves as a wake- up call for Nigerians to demand more from their leaders. It is imperative that we prioritize the welfare and safety of our citizens, especially the most vulnerable. As Obi aptly put it, ” We owe it to these children to ensure their deaths inspire lasting change. ”
