Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi has called on Federal Government to rescue Nigerians trapped in Sudan, IGBERETV reports.

About 4000 Nigerians are trapped as a result of fighting between forces loyal to Sudan's army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Taking to his Twitter handle, Obi wrote;

"I'm sad and concerned by the reports that Nigerians trapped in Sudan have not been evacuated. While we understand the extreme challenges in Sudan, we deeply implore the Federal Government of Nigeria to expedite all efforts to rescue about 4000 Nigerians that are mostly students in Sudan to safety. Moreover, as the Sudanese crisis in not a natural disaster that happened suddenly, it will be sad to lose any Nigerian to the conflict, especially now that we need all hands to create and sustain a New Nigeria.

"Since it is the statutory responsibility of FGN to protect Nigerians at home in Nigeria and abroad, it is important that we attend to such issues with more deserving proactiveness and commitment as the life of every Nigerian is sacred and important. A New Nigeria is really imperative and Possible. -PO"

They will be evacuated. But I fear the impact of the conflict on Nigeria

As much as the Sudan situation is a bad one, I am yet to understand how any sane Nigerian will leave Nigeria to further studies in Sudan..as in Sudan of all places..

The only explanation I can possibly come up with for those who go to study in Sudan are those who go to be indoctrinated in Islamic Fanaticism and Terrorism..

It's just like a Nigerian telling me he is studying in Somalia.. I will be very hard pressed not to think that that person is being recruited by ISIS or Sea Pirates.


All in all sha, may they be rescued, whatever it is that took them to Sudan of all places.

a man that has the people at heart. God bless you our darling daddy.

you are God's gift to humanity... just 4 years as a president will position Nigeria to an upward trajectory in regards to education, economy, social, health etc
