“I encourage them to shun every form of violence, as we cannot build a new nation by destroying what we already have. I also call on the security agencies to remain civil in their security of lives and property in the ongoing protests,” Obi said.
He expressed belief that Nigeria would rise, and the issues of hunger, poverty, insecurity, corruption, and mismanagement of public funds, would be confined to the past.
“Then, Nigeria will be one of the exemplary countries on earth, leading in human and national development. May God grant eternal rest to the dead and grant quick recovery to the injured,” Obi added
