Nwosu said the attack represents a serious threat to democratic principles and equates to an assault on all Nigerians who value peace, civility, and the right to participate freely in politics.
He stressed that political differences should never escalate to violence or actions that endanger lives or the nation’s stability.
“Our politics should not include anger, threats, or violent actions. Democracy works best when people share different ideas, talk things through nicely, and treat each other with respect, not by being aggressive or breaking rules,” Nwosu stated.
He called on the relevant security agencies to investigate the incident promptly, hold perpetrators accountable, and restore public trust.
