  "summary": "Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate, has called on Nigerians to determine the issues politicians campaign on for the 2027 elections. According to reports from Punch Nigeria and Punch, Obi made this appeal, suggesting that Nigerians should drive the campaign agenda.\n\nIn a separate development, the Obidient Movement, led by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has 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 incident where Senator Ovie Omo-Agege claimed that armed men attacked his convoy, injuring six NDC members.\n\nThe Obidient Movement has vowed to defend the rights of Nigerians to campaign, mobilise, and support their preferred candidates, and has called on security agencies to maintain peace and order, and arrest perpetrators of violence.",
