The OK Movement, a political platform supporting Peter Obi and Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, disclosed why its security personnel refrained from retaliating when Obi's convoy was allegedly blocked in Benue State. Founder John Ughulu explained this in a statement from Abuja. The movement, which includes supporters from Obidient, Kwankwasiyya, NPP, and ADC, condemned the disruption and sought an impartial investigation.
Ughulu stressed that their decision to restrain was a deliberate act of leadership and responsibility to maintain peace. He clarified that Obi, like all presidential candidates, has the constitutional right to visit any part of Nigeria without intimidation. The movement warned against further political thuggery and intimidation, cautioning an investigation into those responsible.
Obi expressed concern over the killing of a Kano commentator, calling for a thorough investigation. The incident occurred after Obi's convoy was stopped on Gboko Road near the Nigerian Air Force Base and Makurdi Airport, with youths blocking the route.
