The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Benue State, Chief Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has condemned the blockade of National Democratic Coalition presidential candidate Peter Obi, in Makurdi, the state capital.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Media Assistant, James Ian, Aondoakaa described the incident as a disgraceful assault on democracy and a direct affront to the constitutional rights of Nigerians.
Aondoakaa argued that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of movement, association and political participation.
“As such, no individual, group or government has the authority to deny any Nigerian access to any part of the country on account of political affiliation.”
