The focus should be on promoting coordination, not imposing barriers that could deter much-needed acts of kindness in a time of widespread hunger, pain and anger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the time to stifle the spirit of compassion and generosity among our people. Instead, let us channel these efforts constructively, ensuring that help reaches the most vulnerable safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government must also do more to address the root causes of this hardship, providing lasting solutions rather than creating obstacles for those stepping in to fill the gaps created by government\u2019s insensitive policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge the IGP to immediately review this directive and ensure that the police fosters collaboration and support, not division and discouragement, in our shared quest to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians. -PO\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says\u00a0directive capable of discouraging citizens helping hungry Nigerians Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has criticised the directive of the Inspector General of Police, (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, on the distribution of palliatives to the less privileged.
