Obono-Obla Dismisses Atiku's Claim of Insecurity in Calabar
Human rights activist and APC chieftain, Mr. Obono-Obla, has dismissed recent claims of insecurity in Calabar, Cross River State, made by former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking on a national television station, Obono-Obla emphasized that the capital city of Cross River State is safe and secure.
"Calabar is one of the safest cities anybody would want to live in Nigeria," he said, lauding the efforts of Governor Bassey Otu in enhancing security in the state.
"The governor has addressed security in Calabar. Before he came into office, university lecturers and doctors were being kidnapped almost every day. But since he took office, he appointed a retired Major General as the state security adviser and provided significant security support, including government police officers and other security agencies."
On the incident involving Peter Obi's campaign convoy, Obono-Obla described it as an isolated case and wondered if it could not have been a result of internal dissension within Obi's own party.
"Stone-throwing during campaigns, even in advanced democracies like the United States, is not uncommon," he said.
"The incident involving Peter Obi's convoy is an isolated case. We should not let that one incident define the entire campaign."
"We should take a holistic view of the situation in Cross River State. The state has experienced a significant reduction in crime rates since the governor took office. The state is safe, and Atiku's claim is baseless."
