The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, on Tuesday, raised alarm over an attack on former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and its members in Benin, Edo State.
Tanko disclosed that armed thugs had shot at Obi and members
of the movement during the formal dedefection of Olumide Akpata into the
African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Benin City.
In a terse statement he signed tagged: “Breaking Red Alert
in Benin, Edo State,” Tanko said: “PO and the leadership of the ADC are under
siege and attack in Benin, Edo State.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the
African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC
Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
“They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in
what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is
in danger.”
