A Nigerian nurse has come to the defence of NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi following the disruption of his convoy by suspected thugs in Benue State.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, sparked reactions on social media, with some Nigerians questioning why Obi did not confront the individuals who reportedly blocked his convoy.
Reacting to the criticism, the nurse argued that Obi’s decision to avoid a confrontation should not be interpreted as cowardice or weakness. According to her, the politician demonstrated restraint, emotional intelligence and leadership by choosing not to escalate the situation.
She said:
“Those blaming Peter Obi for not confronting the thûgs in Benue State yesterday, what exactly did you mean? What he displayed was the highest level of strength, emotional intelligence, bravery and leadership skills.
“If there had been an accidental discharge and he was hit, the same people talking on social media would still blame him. When the principal target is removed, will there be any mission?
“Peter Obi knows how to manage disaster. Some people mistake this for weakness.”
The nurse’s comments have added another perspective to the ongoing debate over how political leaders should respond when faced with security threats or hostile situations.
