Former PDP presidential campaign spokesperson, Segun Sowunmi, has compared the massive outrage displayed by Southerners over the kidnapping of the Oyo school children to the poor public response and outcry often exhibited by Northerners when their own region is faced with severe insecurity.
Reflecting on past leadership approaches, he noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan understood this systemic issue, seeing targeted education in underserved parts of Nigeria as the definitive key to addressing long-term insecurity.
Speaking on Arise News on Monday, June 15, he said : “We are dealing with individuals involved in violent attacks, but the situation has not been treated with the seriousness it deserves. Governors in affected areas have not shown enough urgency, and local governments have also fallen short in their response.
“Even public reaction has not reflected the level of outrage expected, especially after the loss of a senior military officer. Overall, the national response does not match the gravity of the situation.“
