“Let us use the commemoration of June 12 as an occasion to return to a truly democratic nation,” said Mr Obi.
Mr Obi’s outburst comes several months after the Supreme Court affirmed President Bola Tinubu, winner of the 2023 presidential election.
Mr Obi described the continuous bloodshed and violence in the country as the failure of the Nigerian state.
Peter Obi says he is open to merging the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
“Frequent mass abductions and killings are clear evidence of failure of authorities to protect the people,” Amnesty International stressed.
The newspaper honoured Mr Obi at the Champion Annual Awards held on Saturday night in Lagos.
“These repeated attacks, particularly in Plateau, have become too many to make any discerning mind worrisome,” Mr Obi said.
Peter Obi says his visit to the Labour Party secretariat in Abuja was reconciliatory, not to endorse any group’s interest in the crisis-ridden party.
Mr Obi noted that such jurists were hard to find in present-day Nigeria, adding, “Our judiciary is weak and compromised by the executive and highest bidder.”
Insider sources close to Messrs Obi and Atiku disclosed that the meeting lasted about one hour and was about a merger towards the 2027 election.
