The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has commended popular musician Davido for using his platform to draw attention to the plight of abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State. Davido, who performed at the FIFA World Cup countdown concert, wore a customized jacket with the names of the victims and the message 'BRING THEM HOME'. This gesture, according to Obi, is commendable as it highlights the country's security challenges and the need for international attention. Obi, in a statement on social media, noted that Nigeria's absence from the World Cup is not due to a lack of talent but rather a lack of effective leadership that can create an enabling environment for talent development. He cited the participation of Nigerian artists and the presence of Nigerians representing other countries in the tournament as evidence of the country's potential. Obi also emphasized the need for the government to address the pervasive insecurity in the country, which has led to the abduction of 39 schoolchildren and 7 teachers in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. Davido's action, according to Obi, is a testament to the power of using one's platform to bring attention to important issues. The musician's custom black leather jacket had green buttons bearing the names of the abducted victims, and his message 'BRING THEM HOME' was a call to action for their safe return. Obi's statement highlighted the importance of Nigeria's political leaders creating an environment that allows the country's youth to realize their potential. He also noted that the prospect of a revitalized Nigeria remains achievable, despite the current challenges facing the country.
