Peter Obi marked Human Rights Day 2024 with a message emphasizing the importance of protecting the dignity and rights of all individuals, particularly the marginalized. He called on authorities to uphold the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees freedoms and protections regardless of race, religion, or social status.
Obi also highlighted the need for proactive governance that aligns with global human rights standards, urging leaders to ensure justice, fairness, and the preservation of fundamental freedoms for every Nigerian. His statement resonates with this year’s theme, “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now,” which underscores human rights as a cornerstone for building a sustainable and equitable society.
