The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has condemned in stgrong terms the attack on the President, Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero in Owerri, saying “It shows the level of lawlessness, impunity, criminality, and rascality that have engulfed our dear country.”
Recall that on Wednesday operatives of the Nigeria Police Force reportedly arrested and brutalized Ajaero in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Reacting in a statement on Thursday, via his X account, formerly Twitter, Obi said the incident “has come as a rude shock to most Nigerians. It says a lot about the state of affairs in our country today.”
He added, “It shows the level of lawlessness, impunity, criminality, and rascality that have engulfed our dear country. Things like this should worry any discerning mind because it runs counter to the type of country that we all desire and deserve.
“In the New Nigeria of our dreams, abuse of power and the reckless violation of citizens’ rights through acts of impunity will have no place.”
