Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi says the fight against insecurity will be his first priority when voted into office as president in 2023.
Obi stated this in a statement posted on his official Twitter handle on Monday while condemning the recent attack on the Founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
He said the attack underscores the level of insecurity in the country.
According to him, “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.”
The LP presidential candidate further said, “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 to 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.”
Recall that Kanyi Daily reported that last Friday, gunmen had attacked the convoy of Apostle Suleman in Edo State.
The gunmen shot dead three policemen and two civilian drivers attached to the Apostle. One domestic staff was also killed.
