Isaac Fayose, brother to former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, condemns youths in Benue State for blocking the convoy of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi as he attempts to enter Makurdi. Both outlets report that trouble breaks out when suspected thugs block an access road, preventing Obi’s movement into the state capital.
Legit.ng and Daily Post Nigeria both link the incident to broader tensions and violence in Benue, describing how the blockade delays Obi’s arrival. While the reports focus on Fayose’s public criticism, they differ slightly in emphasis: Daily Post Nigeria highlights the claim that the road is blocked by “suspected thugs,” while Legit.ng frames the event as youths turning against Obi amid ongoing unrest. Neither source provides additional details about the blockade’s organizers, the immediate police response, or any arrests.
The accounts largely agree on the key sequence—roadblock to stop Obi entering Makurdi, followed by Fayose’s condemnation—while providing limited further context on what happens after the convoy is delayed.
