Peter Obi mourns murdered Kaduna Labour Party women leader

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi, has expressed grief over the murder of the Labour Party’s women leader in Kaura, Kaduna State, Mrs. Victoria Chintex.

Mr. Peter Obi made the remarks on his Twitter handle on Wednesday.

Speaking, Obi condemned the ‘mindless killing of the Labour Party’s women leader’ by yet to be identified gunmen.

He said that her murder, as well as the loss of many innocent lives across the nation to gunmen and terrorists, are the reason why he must battle insecurity headlong when he assumes office.
