Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and Benue governorship candidate Michael Kaase Aondoakaa condemn an alleged blockade of presidential candidate Peter Obi’s convoy in Makurdi, Benue State. The NDC calls for an investigation into what it says prevented Obi from reaching his destination, and asks Benue State authorities and security agencies to identify and prosecute those responsible.
Aondoakaa, a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, also describes the incident as an assault on democracy and demands a probe. Both accounts frame the obstruction as a denial of political access and call for accountability from relevant state and security actors. While the outlets differ mainly in emphasis—one focusing on the NDC’s demand for investigation and the other on Aondoakaa’s condemnation and call for a probe—they reference the same Makurdi incident involving Obi’s convoy.
