‘Energy is electric’ – Reactions trail moment Peter Obi, Kwankwaso arrive Benue amid threat
The arrival of the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Makurdi is currently generating reactions on social media.
MEDIA TODAY had reported that Obi and Kwankwaso arrived in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, at about 10 am on Wednesday for a town hall meeting.
The visit comes amid tension over alleged plans to disrupt Obi‘s engagement in the state.
The NDC governorship candidate in Benue State, Prof. Terhemba Shija, had raised the alarm, alleging that the state government was plotting to disrupt the visit.

However, the Benue State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Chief Solomon Iorpev, dismissed the allegation.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Iorpev described the claim as false, baseless and mischievous.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
One of Obi’s staunch supporters, Chinasa, @MuchTalksBlog1, wrote: “Senior Man, His Excellency Mr Peter Obi, has arrived at the venue for the NDC town hall meeting in Benue State. “The energy is electric! A new Nigeria is possible”.
Also reacting to the video, an NDC chieftain, Aisha Yesufu, simply wrote, “My President.”
