Sowore Condemns Attack on Peter Obi, Blames Tinubu's Government

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has condemned a suspected thug attack on the convoy of Peter Obi, the flagbearer of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), in Calabar, Cross River State. Sowore expressed his views in a post on his X handle, stating that political violence should not be tolerated, irrespective of party affiliation.

He accused the Bola Tinubu-led government of fostering a climate of political intolerance that has led to state-sponsored thuggery as the country prepares for the 2027 elections. Sowore emphasized that such violence is unacceptable and criticized the complicity of the police and security agencies in political intimidation.

He warned that Nigerians would not endure this reign of intimidation indefinitely and would soon rise against political violence and repression.
