NRM Calls on Tinubu to Condemn Electoral Violence

The National Rescue Movement (NRM) has called on President Bola Tinubu to publicly condemn the increasing electoral violence in Nigeria. Chinedu Obi, the National Chairman of the NRM, made this appeal during a sensitization walk in Abuja.

He stressed that political ambitions should not be pursued at the expense of Nigerian lives, asserting that the President's statements hold significant influence over political conduct. Obi referenced former President Goodluck Jonathan's 2015 declaration that his political ambition was not worth any Nigerian's life, which helped to ease tensions during that election period.

He expressed concern over the trend of violence in politics, advocating for elections to be contests of ideas rather than violence. Obi urged political leaders to focus on addressing Nigeria's economic and security challenges and called on Nigerians to reject parties and candidates associated with violence.

The NRM has adopted peaceful political engagement as part of its campaign strategy.
