Benue: State Machinery Used to Target Peter Obi - Paul The Benue State Government claims it was not informed of Peter Obi’s visit to the state. However, the Benue State Police Command has contradicted this, stating that it was aware and provided security for the NDC Presidential Candidate during his visit. What happened in Benue is deeply disturbing. I was informed that the Special Adviser on Youth to the Benue State Governor was the one allegedly mobilising thugs against Peter Obi.

After the thugs allegedly sponsored by the governor of Benue State, Mr Hyacinth Alia, attacked Peter Obi and his convoy and denied them access to visit the victims of the terror attack in Benue State, Peter Obi immediately changed course and headed for Plateau State. There, Peter Obi donated to over 500 internally displaced persons in Mangu Local Government Area, Plateau State, who were victims of bandit attacks on their communities while they slept. Peter Obi Loves Nigerians More Than Nigerians Love Themselves Another person would have grown disillusioned after what happened in Benue. Not Peter Obi. He is a man of conviction — unmoved by political rascals and common thieves. From Benue to Mangu, Plateau, he keeps going: donating, standing with the wounded, and serving the poor. This is Peter Obi. Okwute. Man of compassion. Man of the people. ✌️

The unwarranted and senseless attack on the presidential candidate of our great party, the NDC, H.E. Peter Obi, by APC thugs in Benue is both shameful and embarrassing. Our candidate is a law-abiding citizen with every right to visit any state of his choosing. If Governor Alia and the APC-led administration had not failed the people of Benue, there would have been no need for Obi to visit Yelwata, a community where over 200 people were massacred to condole with the victims. A presidential candidate is entitled to show empathy to the people he seeks to lead. His visit to the affected community underlines his concern for the people of Benue. Governor Alia has failed Benue. He is jittery because the people will judge him at the ballot. I urge the security agencies not only to investigate this attack but to bring the perpetrators to justice without delay. It is the duty of the Nigerian state to protect a presidential candidate and everyone in his entourage, wherever he chooses to go. Many APC governors are unsettled by the growing popularity of our candidate and the NDC, and some are resorting to violence as a result. Nigerian governors must stop harassing and intimidating opponents and instead focus on alleviating poverty and delivering the dividends of democracy. Many have failed and now fear the defeat that stares them in the face in 2027.

I Will be Back in Benue State!! Mr Peter Obi describes the incident as “ugly” and explains that he visited Benue on compassionate grounds and not for Politics. He said he came down from the car to talk to the youths involved to tell them that was not the way to expend their energy instead they could have siezed the opportunity to tell him the problems they are facing in Benue.

How Hired Thugs Obstructed My Visit to Benue State Yesterday, I attended the opening of the national campaign office of an opposition presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde in Abuja. My presence was intended to demonstrate that politics can and should be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and civility. As Governor of Anambra State, I made it a point during electioneering to welcome visiting opposition members personally, provided they acted within the ambits of the law. Guided by that same commitment to decency over partisanship, I travelled to Benue this morning, arriving at approximately 9:00 a.m. on a purely humanitarian mission: to visit the grieving families affected by the horrific killings in Yelwata, where over 270 people were massacred. Regrettably, our convoy was prevented from proceeding to the community by thugs chanting, “Peter Obi, go back.” It was deeply distressing to witness such hostility. I came to Benue not for partisan politics, but to mourn with our people, to listen to families who have lost loved ones, and to offer comfort at a moment of unimaginable sorrow. That a mission intended purely to show solidarity, compassion, and support could be obstructed in this manner is deeply alarming. At a time when our nation should be united in grief and resolute in preventing further bloodshed, we must reject any action capable of deepening our divisions. The people of Benue - and all Nigerians - deserve to sleep without fear. They deserve to travel without fear. They deserve to cultivate their land without fear. Above all, they deserve a country where the state places the protection of human life far above political expediency. Although we were unable to reach the community today, our thoughts and prayers remain steadfastly with the victims, their families, and the entire Yelwata community. We shall continue to work until the primary responsibility of government - the safeguarding of every Nigerian life - is restored. Until then, we cannot truly say we have built the nation our people deserve. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
