2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi has reacted strongly to Governor Babagana Zulum’s recent revelation that Boko Haram informants and collaborators may be embedded within Nigeria’s political and security structures.
Describing the allegation as “devastating,” Obi said it confirms long-held fears of internal betrayal contributing to the country’s prolonged insecurity. He called for the immediate identification, exposure, and prosecution of anyone aiding or protecting terrorists, regardless of their position.
Obi warned that Nigeria cannot defeat terrorism while “traitors sit in the corridors of power” and criticized government silence and inaction on such grave matters. He praised Governor Zulum for speaking out and urged authorities to investigate the claims with urgency and seriousness.
