Land dispute: Peter Obi urges communities to embrace peace

Former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate Peter Obi has called on the communities of Umuoba-Anam and Aguleri in Anambra East Local Government Area to stop their hostilities and embrace peace. The appeal was made in a statement posted on his official X account, expressing concern over renewed tensions between the two communities.

Obi, who served as governor from 2006 to 2013, urged community leaders to prioritize dialogue and reconciliation, warning that violence would only worsen the hardship already faced by residents and cause destruction without any benefit. He emphasized that no grievance is worth the loss of lives, homes, or livelihoods.
