Urgent Action Needed: Peter Obi’s Supporters Attacked in Lagos – Calls for Government Intervention

In a press release, Mr Oladeji condemned the attack, which occurred on Thursday, and expressed concern over the rising political violence ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to the Accord Party chairman, the incident in Oregun is a clear indication that the situation requires immediate intervention from the authorities.

The attack on Peter Obi’s supporters is not an isolated incident. Political violence has been on the rise in Lagos state, with several instances of clashes between supporters of different candidates. This trend, if unchecked, could escalate and disrupt the electoral process, potentially undermining the democratic process.

Oladeji’s call for action comes as the Nigeria Police Force has yet to comment on the incident or provide any assurance of security during the election period. The Lagos State Government, on the other hand, has not issued a statement regarding the attack or its plans to ensure the safety of voters and political parties during the upcoming elections.

The attack on Peter Obi’s supporters in Lagos is a worrying development that underscores the need for the Lagos State Government and the police command to take decisive action to address political violence in the state. Failure to act could have serious consequences for the democratic process and the safety of Nigerian citizens.
