The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25, 2023 election, Peter Obi has sympathized with the family of Maduka Zachary who was beheaded in his home in Uturu Local Government Area of Abia State.
Obi, who also condemned the gruesome murder of Zachary, stated this in a post on his X official account on Saturday.
His post reads: “I have been away to Bangladesh for an international engagement only to arrive home this morning, to receive with shock, and pain the very sad and ugly news of the beheading of a Labour Party Chieftain in Abia state, Zachary Maduka.
“I condole his immediate family, Governor Alex Otti, the good people of Abia, and the Labour Party family.
Such a despicable act remains condemned in all its ramifications.”
The former Governor of Anambra State also charged the Governor of Abia state, Alex Otti to ensure that the perpetrators of the ungodly act be brought to book and also face the rot of the law.
“I sincerely appeal to Governor Otti, in line with my avowed commitment to rid Abia of all forms of criminality to ensure that this type of hateful dastardly act does not go unpunished,” he stated.
News About Nigeria gathered that the late Zachary was the chairman of LP campaign in Uturu Local Government Area of the state in the last Presidential Election and was also committed to fighting insecurity in the area before his painful demise.
