Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has condemned an attack on the convoy of Nigerian Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi during a visit to Benue State, describing the incident as unacceptable. According to the Daily Post, Keyamo made the remarks in a post on X, where he also called for consistency and fairness in media coverage of political incidents.

Peter Ameh, the Kogi East senatorial candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has condemned the reported attack and blockade of the convoy of the party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in Benue State. According to Leadership, Ameh described the incident as ridiculous and unacceptable, insisting that holding public office is not a licence to intimidate and that opposition politicians must be free to exercise their constitutional rights without harassment.

Human rights lawyer Aloy Ejimakor has criticised youths who allegedly blocked Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi from entering Benue State. According to the Daily Post, Ejimakor said in a post on his X handle on Tuesday that the youths who barricaded a road to stop Obi had not taken similar action against terrorists responsible for attacks in the state, suggesting the move targeted Igbos rather than addressing insecurity.

Nigerian minister Festus Keyamo has condemned the reported blockade of Peter Obi's convoy, describing the incident as "not acceptable," according to Tribune Online. The circumstances surrounding the protest remain disputed, with the Benue State Government attributing it to internal squabbles within the NDC, while other claims suggest it may have been sponsored by the APC. Keyamo's reaction adds to the growing political debate over the incident and the competing explanations offered for the disruption.

Details of the Benue attack itself and Obi's response were not provided in the available report.
