The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has condemned the attack on four of his supporters ahead of the party’s rally in Lagos today.
Reacting to the incident on Twitter, Obi said “I received reports that 4 members of the Obidient Family were attacked and injured in Lagos ahead of today’s rally. That incident, premeditated or not, is deeply troubling. Such act stands vehemently condemned.
“We cannot continue to tolerate attacks on members of the political opposition, often fuelled by the incendiary rhetorics of political leaders. The new Nigeria that we seek is one founded on peace and justice, and the respect for the rule of law.
“I call on the Lagos State security agencies to fish out those responsible for the attacks,” Obi said
