Peter Obi Offers Support to Mother of Slain NDC Supporter

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), attended the burial of Ifeanyi Nwolie, a supporter allegedly slain by political opponents during a violent incident on October 10, 2026. At the funeral in Afa, Udi Local Government Area, Enugu State, Obi expressed his condolences and assured the bereaved mother that she has another son in him.

He pledged to send her the monthly stipends that Ifeanyi used to provide, covering 15 months until December 2027. Obi highlighted the tragic implications of political violence in Nigeria and called on all candidates to reject violence, ethnic division, and religious bigotry as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.

He emphasized the importance of democracy, the rule of law, and the need to create a safe environment for citizens to express their political choices freely.
