Peter Obi Calls for Peace Between Anambra Communities
Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, called for peace between the communities of Umuoba-Anam and Aguleri in Anambra East Local Government Area. In a statement on his official X account, Obi expressed concern over renewed hostilities and urged community leaders to prioritize dialogue and reconciliation.
He highlighted that the ongoing violence exacerbates the hardships faced by residents and serves no constructive purpose. Obi stated that no grievance justifies the loss of lives or destruction of homes and livelihoods.
He appealed for an immediate cessation of hostilities, advocating for dialogue over violence and reconciliation over revenge. Obi's intervention comes amid reported tensions between the two communities, raising concerns about the impact on local residents.
Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, was also mentioned in the context of maintaining peace and exercising restraint.
