The former governor of Anambra stated in a statement that Chietnum’s murder “is among the numerous unnecessary bloodletting in Nigeria” in response to the cleric’s passing on Friday.
He called on Nigerian youngsters to rise up in unison and retake the country, attributing the numerous fatalities in the country to the country’s leadership.
“Nigeria youths must rise in unison irrespective of religion, tribe or geography to take back their country”, he charged.
Obi also denounced the killing of over a dozen young people in the Mgbidi region of Imo state.
The former governor of Anambra expressed concern over how “poor and worthless” human lives are valued.
