The Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP) Mr. Obi has visited Jennifer Efedi, the woman who was stabbed in Lagos during the January 25, 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections in Nigeria.

Writing on the visit, Obi described the woman, Mrs Efedi, as “a true profile in courage for a new Nigeria.”

It would be recalled that political thugs who  suspected Mrs Efedi wanted to vote for the Labour Party, stabbed her while she queued to vote at her Polling Unit in Lagos State.

After she was taken to the hospital where she received treatment, the courageous woman returned to the same poling centre with her blood-stained clothes and exercised her franchise.

After the visit, Obi wrote: “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.”
