The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has charged Nigerians involved in the nationwide #End Governance on the need to be peaceful in their conduct.
The former Anambra governor also condoled with the families who lost loved ones in the protest.
“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,” Obi wrote in X.
“I do hope that their legitimate demands, within the law, will not go unanswered.
“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 urged security operatives to be professional in discharging their duties while engaging with the protesters and expressed the hope that Nigeria will overcome its challenges.
“I also call on the security agencies to remain civil in their security of lives and property in the ongoing protests,” he said.
“I sincerely believe in my heart that Nigeria will in the future rise, and the issues of hunger, poverty, insecurity, corruption, and mismanagement of public funds, will be confined to the past. Then, Nigeria will be one of the exemplary countries on earth, leading in human and national development.”
