Buhari condemns killing of Oyibo Chukwu, LP’s senatorial candidate in Enugu
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, strongly condemned the gruesome killing of Chief Oyibo Chukwu, the Labour Party senatorial candidate for Enugu East Senatorial District and his personal aide by gunmen.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a statement in Abuja indicated that
President Buhari expressed the belief that the perpetrators of this ignoble act, in Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, have no respect for human life and dignity, and, therefore, deserve the wrath of natural and divine justice.
The President affirmed his avowed commitment to an election that is devoid of violence and rancour.
President Buhari reminded all political actors that it is the choice of the electorate that counts, and therefore, all eligible Nigerians should boldly exercise their civic rights without any fear of intimidation.
The President directed security agencies to track down the culprits of this heinous crime, even as he commiserated with families of the victims, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Labour Party.
President Buhari prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and comfort for those who mourn.
