The politician said the insecurity in the country had worsened to the point that churches have now started protesting.
“We (the opposition) are not the only ones protesting (the insecurity), even the churches are. So it has come to a critical stage where every Nigerian knows we are living in whatever you can describe it as," Obi said.
He pointed out that globally Nigerian security indices have fallen. He argued that Nigerians elected Buhari hoping that he would provide them security, but that things have gotten worse.
Obi said terrorism in the country had worsened to the point that Nigeria was now named after Afghanistan and Syria as countries where terrorism thrives.
