Prominent Nigerian political figures, including African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Festus Keyamo, Seriake Dickson, and members of the All Progressives Congress, have condemned the alleged blockade of Peter Obi's convoy in Makurdi, Benue State. According to ThisDay Live, the cross-party criticism reflects widespread concern among political leaders over the reported obstruction of the former presidential candidate's movement. The incident has drawn reactions from figures across Nigeria's political spectrum, with reports filed from Abuja, Kaduna, Lagos, and Enugu.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) criticized Bola Tinubu's administration for what it termed "grave insensitivity" following comments made by Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who reportedly stated he does not perceive the hunger and hardship expressed by Nigerians. The ADC urged political figures Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi to remain vigilant in protecting the electoral process.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress and linked to Atiku Abubakar's presidential campaign, has said President Bola Tinubu's government should be held responsible if anything happens to Labour Party figure Peter Obi. The statement, reported by Naija News, reflects ongoing political tension in Nigeria, with Okonkwo attributing potential threats to Obi's safety to the current administration's conduct toward opposition figures.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for being out of touch with the everyday challenges faced by Nigerians. The party emphasized that infrastructure improvements, such as roads, do not address the immediate needs of the populace, highlighting a disconnect between the government and ordinary citizens, according to Naija News.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said his proposal to reinstate Nigeria's fuel subsidy has compelled President Bola Tinubu's All Progressives Congress government to debate the effects of its removal on citizens. According to Atiku, speaking in response to Kayode Fayemi, the government has been forced to confront an issue it had sought to avoid, as hardship from the subsidy's 2023 removal continues to fuel political debate.

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has criticised the rise in federal allocations, describing it as a scam of numbers without economic value. According to ThisDay Live, Atiku argued that the increased allocations mean more naira but less value, alongside mounting debts. He accused the federal government of presenting figures that do not translate into real economic benefits for Nigerians, the outlet reported from Abuja.
