Peter Obi Denounces Attack on NDC Members in Delta

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), condemned an attack on party members and coordinators of the Obidient Movement during a political rally in Asaba, Delta State, on November 7. The attack resulted in injuries to several members, including Comrade Noah, the Delta State Deputy Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, who was stabbed and is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre.

In a statement on his X account, Obi expressed sadness over the incident, labeling it a disturbing threat to Nigeria's democracy. He insisted that political disagreements should be resolved through dialogue rather than violence, asserting that no political ambition justifies the loss of life.

Obi urged the government and security agencies to investigate the attack and bring the perpetrators to justice, regardless of their political affiliations. He reaffirmed that such violence would not deter him or his supporters from engaging in democratic activities, advocating for a political environment based on peace and respect for citizens' rights.
