The OK Movement, a political group supporting Peter Obi's 2027 presidential bid, has warned against any attempts to intimidate or disrupt its members, vowing to deploy "every lawful and necessary countermeasure" if their safety is threatened. The Nigeria Patriotic Youths Forum (NPYF) condemned Tuesday's attack and blockade on Mr. Obi's humanitarian visit to Yelwata in Benue State, describing it as an abuse of power and a "constitutional and democratic rape."
The OK Movement maintains its commitment to peaceful democratic participation, attributing the incident to individuals "mobilised by elements within the state government" and urging a thorough investigation by security agencies. The group cautioned against political violence and intimidation, insisting that elections should be won through ideas, competence, and persuasion, not through force or intimidation.
The NPYF also demanded an apology from Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, for his alleged role in the incident.
