BREAKING NEWS: Peter Obi's convoy under attack by allegedly sponsored political thugs along the Airport-Boko road who insist he must not step into Benue State. We call on the Federal and State governments to act in the interest of democracy. Freedom of movement and political association are constitutional rights... for every Nigerian. SOSshow more

Where were they when FOOLANIS were graping their sisters and mothers?

Are this thugs not benue youths that were paid?so they have thugs like this and they are been killed like a rats in their hometown and they couldn’t protect their land.shame on them

Are these not the same people bandits always kill them finish? @PeterObi Sir! Before going into any state, mobilize your own supporters there let them serve as buffer for you for easy pass. Werey la fin wo werey.

@emekene Be like Tinubu wants to leave before the election o

They are testing the waters. If Peter Obi cannot enter the Benue state or any state for a visit, is it during the campaign that he will enter freely? There is no gentleman in Nigerian politics for now. It should be aura for aura until the right people are at the top. Enough of all these social media lamentations.

Fulani killed them in numbers, they couldn't do anything, now see their actions against Peter Obi. Most Black people are beyond redemption.

The Same Benue people being killed on a regular basis? We love our oppressors so much

@silas_mayor Yet they call this democracy 🤦‍♂️ Learn to not feel sorry for Nigerians.

Bunch of cowards who can't protect their communities are busy being recruited as thugs against a political candidate who's is not the genesis of their suffering and insecurity in the State. Shameless individual... PO supporters should understand that politics in Nigeria is not a gentleman affairs, match madness with superior madness 😎 that is the only answer at this point.

My problem with una be say una too complain.. who are the co-ordinators in Benue.. how can they allow this madness happen when they could have known about this on time and co-ordinated youths to resist this mental situation.

Make anything happen to Obi first, then we will redefine this country.

Civilians armed with sticks and 2x2 are charging aggressively towards armed police officers and non of them is firing tear gas or making attempt to disperse the crowed. Tells you everything you need to know.

Because they have done it before without him taking it seriously and they will keep doing it.

This same Benue if one if the States taken over by bandits yet look at who they're up against. They go continue to cry.

@PeterObi this campaign season, don’t assume , you need more security, private security and if anyone crosses their boundaries… they should be met with an equal or higher force and don’t forget self defense… there is no law for that

Imagine the citizens you're fighting for. You're fighting for politicians that have literally destroyed your future and currently making life unbearable for you?

The day I realised that Nigeria can’t be saved I packed up my luggage and ran away. Nigeria is beyond redemption

If PO and some other politicians are not free to campaign, can there be splitting of this country and have peace? There should be a level-playing field for every candidate. I think they said PO cam 3rd in the last election. Why are they jittery? Why are they in panic mode?

Seriously As at today Peter Obi and Kwankwaso should be holding an international press conference calling on the government to guarantee freedom to campaign and for free and fair election. It happened in Delta,Edo, Cross Rivers,Rivers and now Benue and you kept quiet why???

So this is how shameless this Benue governor is?

The hypocrisy here is alarming asf. The same people under this comment section condemning this barbaric act, were the ones who intimidated APC members who were trying to vote for their candidates in the east Obidients can't take what they dished out in 2023 Hypocrites 😜

you’re calling on their backbone to act in the interest of democracy. this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming from these demons we call leaders. i said it before a mere vote won’t remove him from office. he already has every arm of gov / inec in his pocket.

As much as I do not support this act in any form, I just reflected on it that, imagine this thing happened to Tinubu, same Obidients shouting right now would have made the entire Nigeria social media go gágá that Tinubu has been rejected, they would love it, call dem heroes etc

I don't know who is advising this shameless govt. Last Friday, it was Wike thhst blocked road to deter Amaechi's mother burial, today it is Peter Obi being stopped from entering Benue. Yet, Shehu Buba is flying private jet with allegation of him sponsoring terrorism on his neck.

This maybe smuggled criminals……and police is watching

My Principal Mr Peter Obi can handle this, he should align from the vehicle and have a conversation with the people doing it, I know and believe that they can't harm or kill him. To me if he goes to anyway, and things like this happen he should speak with them 9ja must be Ok

Same Benue people that bandits have almost wiped out during Buhari and now Tinubu administrations. There’s nothing that can help Nigerians

It looks like the Benue youths aren't ready for a new Nigeria yet. Terrorists are invading your families and yet, you want to attack the one man who's willing to save you from them? 🤦‍♂️

If they were Bandits the so called thugs will not dare go near the Road talk less of blocking the Road, whenever you being harassed on the Road, it because they observed that you are a law abiding citizen, even by the Police.

If those boys were out for a peaceful protest in the interest of the people, they would have been tear gassed already. But since they were sponsored to cause chaos the police will do nothing

As at today Peter Obi and Kwankwaso should be holding an international press conference calling on the government to guarantee freedom to campaign and for free and fair election. It happened in Delta,Edo, Cross Rivers,Rivers and now Benue and you kept quiet.

Come 2027, if you like, go to your polling unit unprepared. APC and their thugs have made violence part of their political language. Since they understand nothing else, Nigerians must be prepared to confront violence with extreme violence.

Obi should stay one place Enough of his clout

This is the Kind of Politics Tinubu have introduced to Nigeria.. It has never been this bad.. As for me there are NDC supporters in Benue that are thuggish as well… Match madness with madness… man!
