The message reads: "Today, I visited Mrs Jennifer Efidi. She was attacked on 25th February in an attempt to stop her from voting, but she stood her ground. Jennifer is one of the great icons of Nigeria's democracy."
"She is my point of contact with every Nigerian who suffered a similar fate in their bid to exercise their voting rights, and contribute to a new Nigeria. Like many Nigerians, acknowledge her bravery and resoluteness.
"Jennifer is a true manifestation of Profiles in Courage for a new Nigeria," he wrote.
Recall that Edifi was attacked by alleged thugs who broke into the area to disrupt the election while she was walking with her daughter to a polling place in Surulere, Lagos.
