    ***Condole with families over death of loved ones

    Nigerian Leaders must act fast by reflecting on the cries of the suffering people and addressing their legitimate demands after the 10 days of protests occasioned by disenchantment over bad governance, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party(LP0) in the 2023 General election, Peter Obi has charged

    Writing on his Xhandle on Sunday the former Anambra State Governor said “It is crucial for us, the leaders, to urgently address the issues that sparked and fueled these protests.”
    “Addressing insecurity, fighting corruption, alleviating hardship, and combating poverty are urgent matters that require immediate attention.
    “I call on all leaders to take decisive action to resolve these critical issues.”
    This was just as he expressed his deepest condolences to all who have lost their lives, including the security personnel, during the protests.
    “May the deceased rest in peace, and may the injured recover fully and swiftly.”
    “These individuals gave their lives while advocating for better governance in our nation. I extend my heartfelt sympathies to all the families who have suffered losses in this struggle. We all share in your grief, as we work together for the betterment of our country.

    “May we all find the strength to endure this irreplaceable loss. To those who are wounded and recovering in hospitals and at home, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you for a swift recovery. Your sacrifices for our nation’s cause are deeply appreciated.”
