He is known for advocating peace, unity, and the protection of lives and property in Nigeria.
He expressed his sadness through his X formerly Twitter account “I am deeply saddened and outraged by the unending killing and death in our society. The senseless killing of 16 young men in Nibo, Anambra State remains condemnable. This despicable act is not only a profound loss to their families but also a stark reminder of the escalating violence that continues to plague our communities.
Life is sacred, and no one has the right to take it. Such heinous actions reveal a disturbing disregard for human dignity and the rule of law. Our nation cannot progress if we allow violence to become the norm, and we must work collectively to address the underlying causes of this growing menace.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the Nibo community, the Government of Anambra State, and all those affected by this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I call on the authorities to act swiftly in bringing the perpetrators of this horrific crime to justice and ensuring that such incidents are never repeated. Nigeria must become a nation where safety and justice prevail over violence and lawlessness.
May God grant the departed eternal rest and give their families, along with the Government of Anambra, the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss. -PO
Such tragedies often spur calls for action from leaders like Obi, who may use this moment to highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of violence and ensuring that communities feel safe.
