Peter Obi confirms attack on convoy by alleged APC thugs in Calabar [VIDEO]

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has denounced an attack on his motorcade in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State. According to DAILY POST, Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, were attending a town hall meeting when they were confronted by suspected thugs loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A viral video showed the alleged political thugs throwing stones at Obi's convoy, attempting to obstruct his access to the venue. Speaking to his supporters, Obi expressed frustration with the ongoing attacks, stating, "They said APC people were throwing stones and some people were running back. My security people told me of another route, but I told them, in Nigeria? I'm coming down to go and meet them."

Despite efforts to alter his route, the suspects fled before Obi's arrival. Obi, in his address, held Nigerians accountable for allowing such incidents to continue, questioning their willingness to tolerate such behavior in the future. He vowed that his supporters would not stand idly by and would work towards preventing similar attacks in the upcoming election in 2027.
