The venue of the National Democratic Party (NDC) town hall meeting today where the party Presidential Candidate for the 2027 general election Mr. peter Gregory Obi was to address the followers was turned into violent scene as armed thugs stormed the venue and attacked supporters of Mr. Obi and the party.
The incidence which took place earlier today at the scheduled venue in Oregun left some people injured. Prior to the arrival of the thugs everything seemed nice and peaceful, until the hoodlums arrived and started attacking everyone.
This scenario keeps playing out almost on a weekly basis as we approach the 2027 general elections and so far the government of the day hasn’t spoken out to condemn the attacks. Some commentators and political watchers have all called on the President, to ensure that political leanings must be tolerated and the true tenet of democracy be practiced without any form of intimidation. It is hoped that the President will speak out against these increasing attacks on opposing political parties.
As at the time of putting out this report, there is no official statement yet from the NDC nor its Presidential Candidate Mr. Peter Obi.
