Benue State Government challenges the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to identify an aide they accuse of blocking Obi’s convoy from reaching the Yelewata community. Benue’s Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, says the NDC has not named the person and urges it to do so publicly.
Kula says the state government learned about the incident only after images of the blockage circulated online. He contrasts that position with what the NDC reportedly said publicly, adding that Benue’s governor has therefore been cast as an accused party. The outlets also report that Kula calls for evidence to be presented and for any claims to be investigated through the police.
The framing across the sources is consistent: Benue is demanding names and evidence, while the NDC and Obi are implicitly presented as having alleged obstruction without specifying details. All accounts attribute the challenge to Kula and tie it to the reported convoy obstruction in Yelewata, with an emphasis on accountability if responsibility is established.
