Peter Obi visits family of late Enugu East Senatorial candidate, Oyibo Chukwu

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 elections, Peter Obi, pays a condolence visit to the family of the slain Senatorial candidate for Enugu East District, Oyibo Chukwu.

Obi arrived at the family house of the late Chukwu at Amurri community in Nkanu East Local Government Area in the company of the party’s national leadership, the Enugu State Governorship candidate among other personalities.

The deceased was brutally murdered just two days to the election, prompting INEC to reschedule the polls in line with provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act.

Obi, dressed in all black attire, told the family that Oyibo Chukwu is a martyr of democracy in Nigeria, describing the circumstances of his death as a big tragedy, and a great loss not only to the family, and community but to Enugu State and Nigeria at large. He assures that the national leadership of the Party will not abandon the family.

Labour Party National Chairman, Julius Abure and the Enugu State Governorship candidate, Chijioke Edeoga also condoled with the deceased family and prayed God to comfort them.
