Obi said the harsh economic reality has pushed Nigerians to search for food at the cost of their lives.
He was reacting to the stampede in Oyo, Anambra States, and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Not less than 20 residents of the Okija community in Anambra State have reportedly lost their lives in a stampede.
The stampede occurred on Saturday during an event for the distribution of rice.
We also reported that an unspecified number of persons died following a stampede at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Maitama area of Abuja.
Reacting, Obi posted on X: “I am deeply saddened and distressed by the tragic loss of lives in desperate searches for food. A few days ago, about 35 people, mostly children, lost their lives in a stampede at a Christmas Funfair in Ibadan, Oyo State.
“This morning, reports emerged of at least 10 people losing their lives in Abuja while scrambling for palliatives, with many others injured.
“Now, I just heard that about 19 more lives were lost in another stampede in Okija, Anambra State, as people struggled to receive food items.
“While I will not cast blame, but instead appreciate the organizers of these respective events for their kind gestures in providing palliatives and support to society, especially the poor, these tragedies reflect the systemic failures that plague our society.
“The desperate quest for survival in these harsh economic times has driven our people to extremes in their search for food, often at the cost of their lives.
“How do we explain that in a nation blessed with abundant resources, our people are dying of hunger in such numbers? How is it possible that we cannot feed our citizens despite the vast, fertile lands our nation is endowed with? My heart bleeds.

My heart goes out to them. I sincerely commiserate with all the affected families and the good people of Oyo, Anambra, and the FCT over these tragic incidents. May God grant them, and all of us, the strength to bear these painful losses.
“May God Almighty grant the departed souls eternal rest, and may the injured recover swiftly. -PO”.Tap To Read The Full Story Here.
