Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has condemned the blockade of Peter Obi’s convoy in Benue State, calling on the media to end partisan narratives in reporting political confrontations.
In a statement on Wednesday, Keyamo said the incident must be condemned irrespective of political affiliation, whether caused by internal NDC squabbles or sponsored by the APC.
He rejected suggestions that Obi’s visit to Yelwata was politically motivated, insisting politicians should move freely without intimidation. Keyamo also criticised what he described as inconsistent media treatment of political confrontations.
Key Points:
A government minister’s condemnation of the incident signals its seriousness.
The call for media neutrality could influence future political reporting.
The incident may further polarise public opinion ahead of 2027.
Political violence and intimidation threaten democratic processes.
Keyamo’s statement distances the administration from the blockade.
The condemnation underscores the need for peaceful political conduct. Observers will watch for media response and further developments.
