The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, reacted to the assassination of Mrs Victoria Chintex, the women leader of the party in Kaura Area Council of Kaduna State.
TalkGlitz had reported that Chimtex was said shot on Monday night by the gunmen who broke into her residence at about 8 pm.
Her husband was also shot in the leg but was rushed to the hospital.
It was also revealed that the gunmen rebuffed all entreaties before shooting her several times in her leg and spinal cord, which led to her death.
Obi while expressing his condolence asserted that the killing of the woman and many other innocent Nigerians is the reason why he will prioritise war against insecurity as his first task in office if he emerges the president in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Obi said her death is a huge loss to her immediate family and to the Labour Party.
Taking to his social media handle on Tuesday evening, Obi wrote: “I am shocked by the mindless killing of Mrs Victoria Chintex, the Labour Party’s women leader in Kaura, Kaduna State, by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.
“Her death is a huge loss to her immediate and extended family, and to our Labour Party. She lives on in our hearts.
“Her killing, and the loss of many innocent lives across the nation to gunmen and terrorists, are the reason why I must prioritize the war against insecurity as my first task in the office. We must not allow the waste of human lives in Nigeria under any guise.
May the soul of the Late Mrs Victoria Chintex rest in perfect peace. My sincere condolence to her family. -PO
