The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has condemned the blockade of the convoy of the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, in Benue State.

Sowore, in a statement posted on his X handle on Tuesday, alleged that the incident appeared to be a sponsored blockade and attack on Obi as he attempted to enter Makurdi, the state capital.

“I have watched videos showing what appears to be a sponsored blockade and attack on NDC presidential candidate @PeterObi as he attempted to enter the state capital to carry out legitimate campaign activities.

“I strongly condemn these acts of political brigandage. This is totally unacceptable.
