BLOODSHED AND BROKEN PROMISES: Nigeria’s Protests Expose Deep Wounds -Peter Obi
As the ‘End Bad Governance’ protests come to a close, I extend my deepest condolences to the families of those who have paid the ultimate price in this struggle for a better Nigeria,” said Peter Gregory Obi, the presidential Candidate of Labour party in the 2023 election.
“We mourn the loss of innocent lives, including security personnel, who gave their lives in the pursuit of justice and equality. Their sacrifices will not be in vain.”
He emphasized the need for leaders to reflect on the grievances of the people and take immediate action to address them. “The cries of the suffering people cannot be ignored.
We must urgently address the issues that sparked these protests, including insecurity, corruption, hardship, and poverty. The time for decisive action is now.”
Peter Obi’s statement continued, “To those who are wounded and recovering, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your sacrifices will not be forgotten. We will continue to work together for a better Nigeria, where every citizen can live in peace and prosperity.”
The protests, which concluded yesterday, have left a lasting impact on the nation. The call to action is clear: leaders must take responsibility and work towards creating a New Nigeria, where the rights and dignity of every citizen are respected.
His message of condolences and call to action is a powerful reminder of the need for collective effort to build a better future. “May the deceased rest in peace, and may the injured recover fully and swiftly. A New Nigeria remains possible.”
