Akwa Ibom State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress has expressed anger over the police cancellation of a two-million-man march organised by “Obidient Movement.” The march was recently scheduled for the presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Uyo.
Reacting to the State Commissioner of Police, Baba Azare, issuing a press statement to warn all political parties to stop any rally or street march on Independence Day in the state, the State Director of Obidient Movement, Dr Benjamin Smith, accused the police of frustrating the planned march for no just reason.
Stressing that the Obidient Movement had spent over N20m to mobilise their supporters across the 31 local government areas of Abia State, NDC wondered why the police would just wake up and cancel the event without minding the cost implications to the organisers.
