NDC's Osa Director Accuses APC of Intimidating Obi's Supporters

Osa Director, the National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of orchestrating violence to intimidate opposition, particularly against the NDC and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. He claimed that the APC has resorted to arresting and intimidating Obi's supporters and NDC candidates, asserting that the party will not yield to such threats.

Director questioned the APC's motives, asking, “Who is afraid of Peter Obi?” He made these statements on his 𝕏 account on Friday. The accusations come in response to the arrest of Dr. Ben Smith, the Obidient Coordinator for Akwa Ibom State, who was detained while facilitating the release of other Obidient Movement members, including Elijah Noah, previously arrested during a planned march.

This march, dubbed the “Two Million Man March,” aimed to support Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso ahead of the 2027 general elections. Esther Umoh, a media aide to Peter Obi, described the arrests as acts of intimidation.
