The Obidient Movement has reacted to the attack on its prominent member and Edo state-based activist Precious Oruche, popularly called Mama Pee by the former National Chairman of the Labour Party Mr. Julius Abure in Benin City at the weekend.
The Obidient Movement in a press statement issued at the weekend condemned the act and called it shameful and a dangerous development in the polity.
The statement read in part: “We are compelled to alert Nigerians and the international community to a shameful and to dangerous development. Julius Abure, rather than conducting himself as a responsible citizen, has resorted to thuggery and violence by sending armed hoodlums after Mama Pee, a revered social activist and one of the pillars of our movement.
This barbaric act is an insult to womanhood, a desecration of our democratic values, and proof that Abure has abandoned any claim to integrity. To unleash thugs on Mama Pee, this is not only cowardly but also exposes the bankruptcy of his character and the emptiness of his political vision.
We state categorically that no amount of intimidation, harassment, or violence will silence Mama Pee or the millions she represents. Instead, Abure’s actions only deepen the resolve of Nigerians to resist tyranny in whatever form it comes.
We are calling on the Inspector General of Police and all relevant security agencies to immediately investigate this crime and ensure that those who carried out and sponsored the attack are brought to justice. Violence must never be allowed to take root as a tool of politics in Nigeria.
Julius Abure has proven himself unfit to lead, unfit to inspire, and unfit to represent the values of a new Nigeria. His thuggery is a stain on our democracy and a slap on the faces of all Nigerians who still believe in fairness, justice, and peace.
We stand with Mama Pee. We stand with truth. And we declare once more that no amount of violence will derail the march to a New Nigeria.”
