Labour Party Presidential candidate Peter Obi condemned the incessant attack on his supporters at the Lagos State on Saturday morning stating that the civic space must not shrink further.
The Obidient supporters were attacked and injured by thugs allegedly loyal to the All Progressive Congress on their way to the Tafawa Belewa Square.
The former Anambra State Governor called on Nigerians to eschew violence while reminding security forces to protect those exercising their fundamental rights to free speech and assembly.
“As we go into the final stretch for the 2023 elections, I call on all Nigerians regardless of political affiliation or tendency, to eschew violence. I condemn any form of violence and political thuggery; and especially the incessant attacks on my Obidient supporters.
I call on the security forces nationwide to protect those exercising their fundamental rights of free speech and assembly. Our civic space must not shrink further.”
Meanwhile, Peter Obi has visited the Alaba International Market where he met lots of supporters, and is currently on a road walk in the State today.
