LAGOS NOVEMBER 5TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Obi Media Office has unequivocally condemns the barbaric act of some youths in Calabar who attacked Peter Obi’s campaign convoy on Wednesday.
The Media Office in a statement signed by Idris Zekeri Jnr described the attack as an unacceptable act of political violence that endangers democracy, peaceful political participation and the fundamental rights of Nigerians.
“We are especially alarmed by the calculated exploitation of Nigerian youths by desperate politicians who take advantage of the current economic hardship, entice vulnerable young people with money, and enlist them to carry out violence and obstruct democratic activities.
“Regrettably, the individuals who finance and organise such violence remain safely at home and insulated from the consequences, while innocent youths are manipulated into jeopardising their freedom, future, and lives.
“Nigerian youths must not be used as tools of destruction by self-serving politicians. Their future should be built through education, productive participation, and leadership—not violence or political thuggery.
“We urge the security agencies to conduct a comprehensive investigation, uncover both the perpetrators and those sponsoring them, and ensure that everyone responsible is held accountable and brought to justice.
“Peter Obi remains firmly dedicated to a peaceful, issue-focused campaign and urges all political stakeholders to uphold civility, tolerance, and democratic principles. Nigeria is a nation we all share. No political aspiration justifies the loss of a Nigerian life,” the statement disclosed.
