President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the gruesome killing of Chief Oyibo Chukwu, the Labour Party (LP) senatorial candidate for Enugu East Senatorial District and his personal aide.
The President, in a statement issued Friday by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, directed security agencies to track down the culprits of the “heinous crime”.
He said the perpetrators of the “ignoble act” in Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, had no respect for human life and dignity.
Buhari, who said the perpetrators deserved the wrath of natural and divine justice, affirmed his avowed commitment to an election devoid of violence and rancour.
He reminded all political actors the choice of the electorate would count and urged all eligible Nigerians to “boldly” exercise their civic rights without any fear of intimidation.
The President, who condoled with families of the victims, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Labour Party, prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and comfort for those who mourned.
