The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC has said Nigeria's national interest must always rise above partisan politics.
The party was reacting to the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi's comment on the U.S. designation of Nigeria as a "country of particular concern" and the threat of possible military action.
The News Agency of Nigeria NAN recalls that Obi had described the U.S. designation as "deeply concerning", expressing worry over insecurity while also urging the government to protect citizens' lives and freedoms.
