Peter Obi, a former presidential contender, has condemned the alleged tear gassing of Nigerians peacefully calling for free, fair, and legitimate elections.
Obi voiced his concerns about what he called the repression of persons exercising their democratic rights in a message published on his Facebook page on Tuesday. The fact that people who used to portray themselves as champions of democracy are now behaving in ways that threaten it, he said, is concerning.
According to him, such actions risk eroding public trust and weakening the foundations of good governance.
