  "summary": "Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate, has called on Nigerians to determine the issues politicians campaign on for the 2027 elections. According to Punch, Obi made this appeal, asking citizens to drive the campaign agenda.\n\nThe Obidient Movement, led by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has also issued a warning against attacks on Nigerians or the movement during campaigns or elections, as reported by Daily Trust. The warning comes after an alleged attack on NDC members during the One Million Man March in Warri, Delta State, and another reported attack on Senator Ovie Omo-Agege's convoy in Delta.\n\nThe Obidient Movement has vowed to defend its rights and those of Nigerians to campaign, mobilise, and support candidates of their choice, through lawful means, including mass mobilisation and self-defence, if necessary. The movement has also called on security agencies to maintain peace and order, and to arrest anyone perpetrating crime and violence.",
