Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has spoken after escaping an assassination attempt.
Gunmen had attacked the convoy of the former Anambra State governor in Edo State on Tuesday.
Obi spoke in a viral video circulating online following the attack at the residence of former APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, where gunmen reportedly opened fire, riddling the gate and several vehicles with bullets.https://urbanexpresslive.com/galatasaray-cant-understand-engin-speaks-on-controversy-surrounding-osimhen-over-salary-issue/
“This is where our democracy has reached. A former governor, and you can see what happened in front of his house, where hoodlums came shooting.
“I assure you this cannot continue; we have a country, and we are a part of it. We cannot have terrorism and have officials in government terrorising the citizens.”
The incident reportedly occurred shortly after Obi, Odigie-Oyegun, and other political figures attended the formal declaration of Barrister Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Benin.
A video from the scene showed visible bullet holes on the estate gate and damaged vehicles, indicating the intensity of the attack.
