Obi to protest leaders

The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has called on the federal government to address insecurity, fight corruption, alleviate hardship, and combat poverty as he mourned and reminded the government of the #EndBadGovernance protesters who gave their lives while advocating for better governance in the country.

Obi made this call on his X account on Sunday while extending condolences to families who suffered losses during the protests.

“These individuals gave their lives while advocating for better governance in our nation. I extend my heartfelt sympathies to all the families who have suffered losses in this struggle. We all share in your grief, as we work together for the betterment of our country,” he said.

“May we all find the strength to endure this irreplaceable loss. To those who are wounded and recovering in hospitals and at home, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you for a swift recovery. Your sacrifices for our nation’s cause are deeply appreciated,” Obi added.

He said it is crucial to urgently address the issues that sparked and fueled these protests, and urged all leaders to reflect on the cries of the suffering people and address their legitimate demands.

“Addressing insecurity, fighting corruption, alleviating hardship, and combating poverty are urgent matters that require immediate attention. I call on all leaders to take decisive action to resolve these critical issues,” he stated.
