‘Enough Of The Harassment’ – Peter Obi Blows Hot, Accuses Tinubu Of Facilitating Violence

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has accused President Bola Tinubu of encouraging and facilitating violence.

Naija News reports that Peter Obi made the accusation while demanding the immediate release of NDC political mobiliser Rilwan Olawale, following his reported arrest at his Lagos residence.

Enough of the harassment of my supporters. Release Rilwan Olawale now.

In a statement on X on Monday, Obi condemned Olawale’s reported arrest as an attack on democracy and opposition voices.

President Bola Tinubu has remained a huge beneficiary of our democracy and should not brazenly be destroying it by encouraging and facilitating violence.

Obi demanded transparency over Olawale’s arrest and respect for his rights, pledging that his supporters would remain peaceful and lawfully defend their democratic rights.

We have chosen the path of peace, not violence; persuasion, not intimidation. We will not resort to violence, but we will stand firmly and lawfully against every attempt to undermine our democratic rights.

While demanding transparency over the arrest of Olawale, Peter Obi warned that encouraging political thuggery and violence will set Nigeria’s democracy back.
