The Presidential Candidate of Labour Party(LP) Mr. Obi has visited Jennifer Efedi, the woman who was stabbed during the last presidential and National Assembly elections in Lagos.
Efedi was attacked by political thugs who stabbed her while she queued to vote at her Polling Unit in Lagos. Her attackers suspected she wanted to vote for the Labour Party.
She was thereafter taken to the hospital where she received treatment. But instead of going home she retrurtned to the poling centre with her blood-stained clothes and exercised her franchise.
Obi wrote on the visit: “Today, I visited Mrs Jennifer Efedi. She was attacked on 25 February in an attempt to stop her from voting. She stood her ground. Jennifer is one of the great icons of Nigeria’s democracy. She is my point of contact with every Nigerian who suffered similar fate in their bid to exercise their voting rights, & contribute to a new Nigeria. Like many Nigerians , I acknowledge her bravery & resoluteness. Jennifer is a true manifestation of Profile in Courage for a new Nigeria.
