Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has called for a thorough investigation into the recent attack on Peter Obi and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the incident as disturbing and unacceptable in a democratic setting.
In a strongly worded statement, the lawmaker urged security agencies to move swiftly to identify and prosecute those responsible, warning that failure to address such acts could erode public confidence in the country’s electoral and security institutions.
Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that all political actors, regardless of party affiliation, must be guaranteed protection and the freedom to engage with citizens without fear of intimidation or violence. She noted that safeguarding political participation is vital to the stability of Nigeria’s democracy.
While calling for calm among citizens, the senator emphasized the need for unity and respect for democratic values as authorities investigate the incident.
The attack on Obi and other ADC leaders has sparked concern nationwide, with many Nigerians condemning the development and demanding justice.
