Thugs Disrupt Peter Obi and Kwankwaso's Rally in Delta
On September 18, during a campaign rally in Warri, Delta State, supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and his running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso were reportedly attacked by suspected thugs. Esther Umoh, a photographer associated with Obi, highlighted the incident on social media, alleging that the thugs targeted members of the Delta State governorship candidate's entourage and supporters of both the Obidient and Kwankwasiya movements.
A video shared alongside the claims depicted a chaotic scene. This incident occurs as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections in Nigeria, where Obi is mobilizing support under the NDC ticket.
Obi was ratified as the NDC presidential candidate on May 29, 2026, after resigning from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Analysts suggest that the fragmented opposition could benefit the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming elections.
