Following the release of viral teenager Quadri Yusuf Alabi from unlawful detention, former presidential candidate Peter Obi has publicly reacted with gratitude and firm resolve
In a statement shared on X, Obi not only applauded those who fought for Alabi’s freedom but also pledged to personally support the teenager’s educational journey.
Obi revealed that during their meeting, what stood out most was Alabi’s deep desire to return to school and complete his education.
The former governor also emphasized that while Alabi’s release is a victory, true justice requires that those responsible for his illegal detention be held accountable.
Obi concluded by thanking everyone who played a role in the fight for Alabi’s freedom and reiterated his vision for a better Nigeria.
He wrote: “Today, I had the opportunity to meet with Quadri Yusuf Alabi, the young boy whose story moved us all. After enduring unjust and illegal incarceration, he is finally free, and I am very grateful to the lawyers led by @InibeheEffiong, who fought for his release and also @DeleFarotimi and Ms Hassana Nurudeen,, whose constant intervention was instrumental in securing justice for the young lad.
I listened to Quadri today, and one thing stood out clearly: his unwavering desire for education. Despite all he has been through, his only dream is to return to school and complete his education and I will make sure he gets it.
His determination is not just inspiring; it is a call to action, and I am committed to ensuring that he gets the education he desires and deserves.
In addition, we must not stop at his release. Those responsible for his illegal incarceration must be held accountable. As we strive to build a Nigeria where fairness and integrity prevail, we cannot afford to allow such acts of criminality to go unpunished.
I once again thank the lawyers and everyone who stood and remained unrelenting for justice.
Together, we will build a Nigeria where education, freedom, rule of law, equity and justice, care and protection of the less privileged in our midst will stand as the foundation of our democracy.
A new Nigeria is Possible. -PO”
