Peter Obi Speaks After Assassination Attempt in Edo

Peter Obi, a prominent political figure and former governor, spoke out following an assassination attempt on his life in Edo State. The attack occurred at the residence of John Odigi Oyegun, the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), where gunmen reportedly opened fire, damaging several vehicles and riddling the gate with bullets.

Obi condemned the attack in a video that circulated online, emphasizing that such acts of terror cannot continue in the country. He highlighted the growing concerns regarding security and democracy in Nigeria, particularly in light of the violence directed at political leaders.

The incident reportedly took place shortly after Obi and Oyegun attended a formal declaration event in Benin City. The assailants, described as armed individuals, targeted the ADC secretariat and were alleged to be part of a coordinated attack.

This incident underscores the escalating violence against political figures in Nigeria.
