Peter Obi De Cry Out for Ekpoma Students Wey Dem Don Arrest

Omo, Naija self don enter another gbege again! Peter Obi, wey be former Labour Party presidential candidate, don dey vex for the matter wey involve 52 students for Ekpoma, Edo State. Dem don arrest dem for protesting against the palava of kidnappers and bandits for their area. Obi talk say this matter no fit collect pass, no be dem wey dey shout for security dem go dey treat as criminals?

Na so e happen say the students just do their own peaceful protest to call attention for the wahala wey dey happen for their community, but wetin dem get? Dem come pick dem up from their hostels for night like say dem be criminals. How una wan take feel say na students wey just dey fight for dem life dem go carry first like say dem be the original bad guys? Obi don use him mouth yarn say e dey alarmed by this kind treatment.

Chai! Obi talk say, “This matter dey totally unacceptable. Na wetin we go allow? Make dem dey punish citizen wey just dey ask for better security? Meanwhile the real bandits dey waka free like say na dem own land be this.” E don dey clear say the youth no go just fold hands as long as dem dey face this threat. According to Obi, as long as insecurity dey show face, protests go dey continue. Dem no gree for fight against government; na fight against the criminals be this!

And abeg, make I tell una wetin Obi think, he don talk say the authorities suppose talk to the students. No be to just dey arrest dem for raising up idea wey go help the community. E say, “We fit continue with dialogue instead of abeg to persecute innocent youth when all dem dey demand na safety for dem own life.” Na true talk o! How come the criminals dey dey free while dem dey arrest students wey just want to live dem life?

Obi see this arrest as something wey no suppose happen. He dey call for dem to release the students and make dem no waste time. “Arresting young people for demanding safety no fit make sense. Let us carry courage go front, not fear, as we dey try to follow our leaders.” This matter don show say for real, when citizens dey stand up for wetin fit protect dem, dem suppose try dey listen, and not just dey arrest people like that.

Omo, Naija don dey face plenty wahala, and we need leaders wey go dey hear the cries of the people. As Obi don talk, e get hope say a New Nigeria fit still dey possible if we fit join hands and work together. Abeg, make we dey watch this matter, as e go still dey unfold for ground!
