Former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi says acts of lawlessness are not new to him.
Obi made the comment in a post on his verified X handle on
Wednesday, following an attack on him and other members of the African
Democratic Congress, ADC, in Edo State on Tuesday.
He expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their prayers,
calls, and solidarity following the incident
“I especially appreciate your support during this difficult
time for the family of the distinguished elder and former Governor of Edo
State, Chief John Oyegun, who has served Nigeria honourably in various
capacities, as well as for another former Governor, Professor Oserheimen
Osunbor.
“Your support has strengthened my faith in our shared
humanity and our collective hope for a better Nigeria. My deep gratitude is
reflected in my renewed commitment to serve and build our nation.
“Experiences of lawlessness are not new to me. Years ago,
the violence and insecurity in Anambra shaped my determination to seek the
governorship of the state, convinced that leadership must restore order,
security, and public trust.
“Today, the growing lawlessness across our country calls
upon all men and women of goodwill to step forward—not in fear but with a sense
of responsibility. As Plato reminded us, the price good people pay for refusing
to participate in government is to live under the rule of bad people.
“This moment urges Nigerians to be even more resolute in
electing leaders defined by competence, commitment, character, and
compassion—leaders who prioritise the nation above self and service above
power.
“Together, with courage and unity, we can build the
peaceful, secure, and prosperous Nigeria our people deserve,” he wrote.
