ABUJA- THE Leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has condemned in very strong terms what it described as the shameful attack and obstruction of its Presidential candidate ahead of next year’s election, Peter Obi, by suspected hired thugs in Benue State today.

In a statement on Tuesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the NDC, Osa Director, the party noted that it will not be deterred, as it will persist until the party restores the fundamental responsibility of government: the protection of every Nigerian’s life.

The NDC has called on the Benue State Government and relevant security agencies to investigate the incident immediately, bring the perpetrators to justice, and guarantee the safety of all citizens and leaders who seek to show solidarity in times of grief.
