Peter Obi accused of breaching protocol as Benue govt reacts to road blockage

The Benue State Government has accused presidential candidate Peter Obi of breaching protocol during his visit to the state, following an incident where youths reportedly blocked his movement. According to the Benue State Commissioner for Information, Solomon Iorpev, Obi's failure to formally notify the state government of his visit made it difficult for authorities to make adequate security arrangements for him.

The incident has raised concerns over the importance of formal communication and adherence to protocol when high-profile political figures travel across states, as well as the need for proper coordination between visiting dignitaries and relevant authorities to ensure security and avoid disruptions.
