LP Senatorial Candidate Killed, Obi Reacts

The Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has condemned the assassination of the party’s senatorial candidate for Enugu East, Oyibo Chukwu, and has called for justice.

Chukwu and his personal assistant were killed by gunmen who attacked his convoy on Wednesday, along with some LP members.

Obi described the assault as “mindless bloodletting,” which he added was “depressing.”

“I strongly condemn the killing of Barr Chukwu in its entirety. Human lives must remain precious, irrespective of political affiliation. The mindless bloodletting that occurs in the nation is beyond depressing. We must not continue to toe this dangerous path,” the former Anambra State governor tweeted early Thursday.

“Enough of the killings now is time for healing. I sincerely condole with the bereaved family, the Enugu East Senatorial Zone, and our dear Labour Party family, for this painful loss. I call on law enforcement agents to fish out and bring to book the perpetrators of this crime and ensure that Nigerians freely exercise their civic duties without intimidation.”
