Delta Governor’s Aide Accuses NDC Supporters of Beating Innocent Task Force Official

In a turn of events that has sparked controversy in Delta State, Ovie Success Ossai, Senior Special Assistant on Media to Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has accused supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of mistakenly assaulting an innocent task force official during a political rally in Asaba. According to a post on Ossai’s Facebook page, the task force official was allegedly beaten to death by the ‘Obidients’ – a term used to describe Peter Obi’s supporters – who mistook him for an All Progressives Congress (APC) thug.

The incident, which occurred on November 9, has stirred a wave of reactions from various quarters, with some condemning the action and others defending the supporters, arguing that they were only protecting themselves. However, the NDC has not yet responded to the allegations.

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred during political rallies in Nigeria. In the past, political supporters have been known to clash, leading to loss of lives and properties. As the 2023 general elections approach, the need for peace and unity among Nigerians, especially during political activities, cannot be overemphasized.

This story matters to Nigerian readers as it highlights the need for peace and unity during political activities, and the potential consequences of political violence.
