Chief Press Secretary to Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State, Tersoo Kula, has challenged the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to name the aide they alleged was responsible for blocking Obi from visiting Yelewata community in the state.

The incident comes shortly after Obi visited parts of Benue State during a wider political tour across Kogi, Benue and Enugu states.

The government said it “rejected, in the strongest terms,” claims by Obi that he was prevented from accessing Yelewata by thugs working for the state government.
