Reacting to the news of the women leader’s death, Peter Obi said, “ I am shocked by the mindless killing of Mrs. Victoria Chinfed, the Labour Party’s women leader in Kaura, Kaunda State, by yet to be identified gunmen. Her death is a huge loss to her immediate and extended family, and to our Labour Party. She lives on in our hearts.
“Her killing, and the loss of many innocent lives across the nation to gunmen and terrorists, are the reason why I must prioritize the war against insecurity as my first task in office. We just not allow the waste of human live in Nigeria under any guise.
“May the soul of Late Mrs. Victoria Chintex rest in perfect peace. My sincere condolences to her family.”
