[Newsman]

Quadri Alabi, the campaign poster boy for Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party has said that he wants to go to school. Alabi pleaded with Nigerians to support his mother in her petty business to enable her carter for him and his siblings. In a video seen by Politics Nigeria, Alabi said, “I want to go to school…people should help my mother because she doesn’t have anything she’s doing…please if anybody can help us, we’d appreciate it.” This call by the teenager comes barely hours after he was acquitted and released by the court after being incarcerated in Kirikiri prison by the Police. Alabi was framed up by some touts who were angered by his failure to share donations made to him by Peter Obi and his supporters after he went viral during the election campaign. Also, in a separate appeal, Alabi’s lawyer, Inibehe Effiong called for fundraising for the teenager education and entire well-being of his family. In a post on X, Effiong said, “Following my discussion with the family of Quadri Alabi and at their request, I hereby appeal to all conscientious organizations, individuals, and corporate entities to offer immediate financial assistance to Quadri to enable him and his family relocate from their present community and home. “Amukoko is no longer safe for them, those behind his travails can easily target him or his family members again,” the lawyer wrote. Continuing with the post titled, ‘Urgent Fundraising for Quadri Alabi’, Effiiong said the appeal became necessary following threats received by the teenager and his mother. He added, “Upon the release of Quadri at the court, it became apparent that it is no longer safe for them to return to their home. Due to the urgency and severity of the situation, we have paid for and lodged them in a hotel for tonight. “In addition to the necessity of relocation, Quadri’s mother who is a ‘petty trader’, has also pleaded with Nigerians to assist her financially to enable her cater for herself and her children. Her husband (Quadri’s father) is deceased,” he said. He also stated that Alabi needs to be rehabilitated as he has expressed the desire to go to school. He also stated that the teenager said he is open to acquiring a skill. Effiong added, “If you are minded to assist, kindly send your support to the account details below: “Account No: 0092695127 Bank: Sterling Bank Account Name: Quadri Yusuf Alabi “We will do our best this time to ensure that whatever is donated to Quadri is properly utilized and not misappropriated,” Effiong added.
