Born Leader
The tragic death of Stephen Lowosio has deeply saddened many people and has raised serious questions that deserve clear and truthful answers. Every human life is precious, and no leadership position, political office, or personal ambition should ever become a reason for violence or the loss of life. A society built on peace, justice, and respect for the rule of law cannot accept violence as a way of resolving disagreements or political competition.
The people deserve to know the truth about what happened. We therefore call upon the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough, independent, impartial, and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Stephen Lowosio's death. The investigation should be free from political influence or interference so that the facts can be established based on credible evidence. If any individual is found responsible through due process, they must be held accountable in accordance with the law, regardless of their position or influence.
This is also a time for leaders, community members, and young people to reject hatred, violence, and incitement. Leadership is about serving the people with integrity, promoting unity, and protecting the lives and rights of every citizen. Political competition should be guided by democratic principles, mutual respect, and peaceful dialogue, not fear or bloodshed.
As we mourn Stephen Lowosio, let us stand together in demanding truth, justice, and accountability. At the same time, let us remain committed to peace and avoid spreading unverified allegations that could deepen divisions. Justice must be based on facts, and lasting peace can only be achieved when the truth is established and the law is allowed to take its course.
