You Need No One to Tell You Peter Obi Blocked In Yelwata Was Government-Sponsored - Sowore
It was written all over the crowd, the way they conducted themselves, and the body language of the security agencies hanging around. The fact that, since the activity took place, we have not heard officially from the police force that they were part of the plan to prevent him from entering Yelwata and itโs a shame.

Peter Obi Does Not Need to Consult With Anybody Before Visiting Any Part of the Country - Tietie
The governor of Benue and his aides must be under the illusion that there is a requirement that a Nigerian citizen should get clearance from a governor. No matter how prominent he is, the constitution guarantees freedom of movement for every citizen.

Yesterday, 8th September, following the unfortunate incident in Benue State, where our delegation was prevented from proceeding to Yelwata to visit displaced Nigerians and families affected by the recent attacks, I proceeded to Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, where I visited an IDP camp housing over 500 displaced persons.
The situation in Mangu is deeply disturbing. Over 45,000 people have reportedly been displaced, while more than 20 communities have been sacked by terrorists. These are Nigerians who want nothing more than to return to their ancestral homes, rebuild their communities, cultivate their farms, and live their lives in peace and dignity.
As I have always maintained, as long as there is one displaced Nigerian, all Nigerians are displaced.
I therefore urge the government to do more to secure these beleaguered communities and restore the confidence of our people. The right to life, safety, dignity and livelihood must be protected for every Nigerian, irrespective of where they live, their ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.
Our displaced citizens must not become forgotten Nigerians. They are citizens of our country whose homes, livelihoods and futures have been disrupted. Government must create the conditions for their safe and dignified return, secure their communities and support them to rebuild their lives.
I concluded my visit by offering my modest support to the displaced families as a gesture of solidarity, compassion and shared humanity.
The New Nigeria we seek must be a country where every citizen can live, work, farm, raise a family and pursue their dreams in peace and security.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Peter Obi donates to over 500 internally displaced persons in Mangu Local Government Area, Plateau State, who were victims of bandit attacks on their communities while they slept.
I have watched videos showing what appears to be a state-sponsored blockade and attack on NDC presidential candidate @PeterObi as he attempted to enter the state capital to carry out legitimate campaign activities.
I strongly condemn these acts of political brigandage by agents of the state government and the Tinubu regime. This is totally unacceptable.
No candidate should be prevented through violence, intimidation or state-sponsored thuggery from campaigning freely anywhere in Nigeria. Those behind these cowardly attacks are toying with fire and threatening the democratic rights of all Nigerians.
They must desist immediately before it is too late
Happening now: Governor Alia of Benue State that cannot protect his people is mobilizing thugs to stop Mr Peter Obi the presidential candidate of the NDC. #nigeria#politics

The Cowardly Rev. Father, Unfortunate Governor of Benue, Hyacinth Alia, and the Miserable Bunch of Losers in the APC are not just scared they are absolutely disgusting. Lol
At this point, everybody should prepare for war or whatever it is these demons are cooking.๐๐ป
