An ongoing one-million-man march in support of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso in Warri, Delta State, was reportedly disrupted by suspected political thugs.
The incident occurred as supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), popularly known as Obidients and Kwankwasiyyas, participated in the solidarity march across the city.
According to reports from the organisers, the procession came under attack by suspected political thugs who allegedly attempted to disrupt the gathering.
The supporters, however, reportedly resisted the attack and succeeded in pushing back the alleged attackers, allowing the march to continue.
Videos and reports from the event showed supporters gathered in large numbers as they moved through parts of Warri while displaying campaign materials and chanting in support of Obi and Kwankwaso.
