Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has expressed his condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives in the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests across the country. He urged peace from the protesters and acknowledged their demands, hoping their voices would be heard.
Obi stated, “I wish to most sincerely pass my condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives in the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests. I deeply mourn these brothers and sisters of ours, who have lost their lives in their struggle for a better nation.”
He urged protesters to maintain a peaceful approach, saying, “I will continue to urge the protesters to be of good behaviour and remain peaceful in their actions. I encourage them to shun every form of violence, as we cannot build a new nation by destroying what we already have.”
Obi also called on security agencies to exercise restraint in their response to the protests, saying, “I also call on the security agencies to remain civil in their security of lives and property in the ongoing protests.”
The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest started on Thursday, with at least 17 people feared killed as violence erupted in several states. Businesses and banks were shut, while major roads were deserted. The Nigerian military has said it will intervene if the violence escalates.
