PRESIDENTIAL candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has condemned last Friday gunmen attack on the convoy of the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
Stonix News reports that no fewer than seven persons, including three police officers, were killed in cold blood in the obvious assassination attempt on the life of the cleric.
In his Facebook page, the leading presidential hopeful decried the fast degenerating state of anomie in the country, which he said was responsible for retrogression.
Obi, who commiserated with the bereaved families, promised to tackle insecurity and terrorism head-on if he’s voted to power as president, come February 2023.
“The recent attack on the Founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, underscores the level of insecurity in our nation.
“Ugly acts like these are reported from different parts of the country on a daily basis, and it is saddening.
“Such acts of terrorism, violence and criminality are highly condemnable.
“The high level of insecurity that has continued to plague our nation has continued to clog up the nation’s wheel of progress.
“I restate my commitment to the fight against insecurity as my first priority in governance when voted into power.
“I am saddened by the lives lost during the attack; one life lost to insecurity, is one too many. I pray God to grant the victims eternal rest.
“May God also comfort the bereaved families. I call on the security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of such acts and bring them to book,” he averred
