Former presidential candidate and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr. Peter Obi, has condemned the attack on the ADC office in Bakassi, Cross River State, describing it as an attack of democracy itself.
In a social media post, the former Governor of Anambra State stressed that the fact that political thugs can carry out such an attack and face no arrest “reflects how dangerously low our democratic standards have fallen.”
He said further: “In the current state of Nigeria, what can we expect when leadership standards have plummeted to the extent that qualification, certification, and credibility are no longer deemed necessary for public office? The ability for individuals to present forged certificates for election sends a troubling message to our society. If we continue down this path, violence may become the future of our democracy.
“We must recognize that fraud and violence cannot create true leadership; they will only result in chaos. This chaos will ultimately affect us and our children.”
