In the event that the Labour Party’s Peter Obi wins the highly anticipated election on February 25, 2023: he has said that his administration will apologise to every victim of police abuse.
He asserted that the nation’s security personnel will “no longer” be used for harassment and promised to uphold the rule of law and order as being of the utmost importance.
Obi said, “The police will be a friend, not an enemy. Law enforcement organisations will be outfitted, and more trained individuals will be recruited. They will carry out the policing. We won’t experience the same issues we have now.
