Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, says the nation must not allow further spilling of the blood of innocent Nigerians under any guise. Obi said the government should show visible commitment to the security of lives and property of the Nigerian people.
The statement follows the recent attack on Ugwujoro in Nimbo Community of Uzo Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State by suspected killer herdsmen. In a post on his X handle on Monday, the former Anambra State governor said he found the report very disturbing, especially recalling that those terror-mongers have continued to unleash terror on the people of Uzo-uwani over the years. Obi commiserated with the people who lost their loved ones to the cruel attack.
'When I read the reports, I quickly intervened, rebuilt the hostel and handed it over to the School Management by March 2016. A month after that, the people of Nimbo Community in the same Uzo Uwani were senselessly murdered, and this attracted national attention. 'I attended their funeral alongside the former Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. I helped in consoling and rehabilitating the victims.
