Former presidential candidate and political leader, Mr. Peter Obi, has condemned the recent tear-gassing of citizens in Nigeria who were peacefully advocating for free, fair, and credible elections.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Obi lamented that the actions of security forces have turned those who once claimed to champion democracy into what he described as “destroyers of our democracy and the worst enemies of good governance.”
Obi called on Nigerians to resist “continued evil plans” and to unite in safeguarding the nation’s democratic future. He stressed the need for transparency in elections, urging the implementation of real-time, mandatory electronic transmission of polling unit results to build trust in the electoral process.
He concluded by appealing for divine guidance for Nigerians to work toward a better country founded on justice, good governance, and credible elections. “A New Nigeria is Possible,” Obi affirmed.
