Obiozor: Atiku says attacks on politicians inexcusable
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the attack on the Imo state residence of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, George Obiozor, on Saturday.
A statement from Mr Abubakar’s media office on Monday quoted him saying that attacks on elder statesmen were inexcusable.
“This attack further reinforces the need to firm up security across the country as a situation where elder statesmen become targets of incendiary attacks is inexcusable,” the former vice president said.
Mr Atiku described the attack as “daring and obnoxious”.
He further expressed sympathy with the president-general of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural group and his family, just as he called on relevant law enforcement agencies to step up investigations into the matter.
