Gov Oborevwori Orders Probe As Suspected Thugs Disrupt NDC Mobilisation Campaign In Delta
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori ordered a security probe after the NDC said suspected thugs attacked its march and forced supporters to fight back.
- On Thursday, supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress faced violent disruption during their 1,000,000-Man March in Effurun, Delta State, with participants backing Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso confronting individuals described as suspected political thugs.
- Dr. Obiuwevbi Ominimini, the NDC's House of Representatives candidate for Ughelli/Udu Federal Constituency, accused Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and the All Progressives Congress of sponsoring the attack to intimidate party members ahead of the 2027 general elections.

- Governor Sheriff Oborevwori directed security agencies to investigate and ensure culpable parties face the law, while Commissioner for Works Charles Aniagwu stressed that political rivalry must not degenerate into violence and all parties retain the right to campaign peacefully.
