Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party
(LP), says his administration will apologise to victims of police brutality if
elected.
Speaking on Saturday during a rally in Lagos, Obi said his
administration will ensure that security operatives do not harass Nigerians.
The rally took place at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) in
Onikan, Lagos.
The LP presidential candidate promised that his
administration will recruit, train, and equip police officers on effective
policing.
He also promised that his administration will guarantee
freedom of the press.
“When you vote for us, I assure you that there will be
freedom of press so the press can criticise what we are doing,” he said.
“Our security people would no longer be for harassment.
Police will not harass anybody.
“We are going to
recruit. We are going to train them on how to do policing and equip them.
Police will be a friend, not enemy.
“They are going to do the work of policing. We will not have
all these problems that we have.
“We will apologise to all those who are victims of police
brutality. All those who had suffered in the hands of the government, we will
apologise to them. We will make sure it never happens again.”
Speaking further, the former Anambra governor said it is
time for persons who are born after the country gained independence to rule the
country.
He asked the electorate not to vote for those who were born
before the country gained independence.
