Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to address the nation and douse the tension in the land.
This comes as the #EndBadGovernance protest enters the second day across the country.
Reacting to the protest and the demands of the protesters from his home in Onitsha, Anambra State, Obi said the president should address the nation and attend to the legitimate demands of the people.
Referencing the video purporting that he was in Abuja on day one of the protest, the former Anambra State governor said, “I am here in Onitsha, I can’t be here and be in Abuja.”

On the demands of the protesters, Obi said they were legitimate but insisted they must be pursued within the law.
“My appeal is for the President to come out and address the nation. He is the one the people elected, holding their mandate, and he should not be using aides or appointees to reach the people at such critical times,” he said.
The LP leader also extended his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the protest, as well as the injured and those who lost their property.
