“Again we are showing the world, why we are “Now Disgraced Nation’” – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party has condemned the attack on protesters by officers of the Nigeria Police Force.

The former Anambra State governor said Nigeria has continued to show the world that it is “Now a disgraced nation” as proclaimed by President Donald Trump.

Recall that some Nigerians who were protesting the rejection of the electronic transmission of election results by the Nigerian Senate were tear-gassed by the police.

Reacting to the action by the officers, Obi slammed the police for attacking “harmless citizens” for simply “asking for what is right – free, fair, and credible elections in a democratic nation.”

Expressing concern over the police action against Nigerians who were performing their constitutionally guaranteed duties, Obi said those who claimed to be champions of democracy, have today become destroyers of Nigeria’s democracy.

Also describing these individuals as the worst enemies of good governance, Obi urged Nigerians to resist the evil plans against the nations

His words, “I urge Nigerians, en masse, to resist these continued evil plans, to stand united against the destruction of our nation and collective future, and to ensure that free and fair elections are firmly established for the sake of our future.

“We insist that there must be real-time mandatory electronic transmission of polling unit results to ensure transparency and trust in our elections.

“May God grant us the strength to build a better country, founded on free, fair, and credible elections, justice, and good governance, for the future of our dear nation,” Obi added.
