Isaac Fayose blasts Benue youths for blocking Peter Obi’s convoy [VIDEO]

Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has slammed Benue youths for blocking the convoy of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

DAILY POST reports that trouble erupted when suspected thugs blocked a major access road to prevent Obi from entering the state capital, Makurdi.

Speaking after the incident, Obi decried the state of Nigerian politics, clarifying that his presence in the state was strictly humanitarian rather than campaign-driven.

Reacting, Fayose said, “The actual problem we are facing in Nigeria right now is the youths, not even our politicians. They have used poverty to destroy the minds of several youths.

“How can you, as a youth, allow people to kill your family members and continue killing your people, yet you are stopping Peter Obi from entering? You people can’t even stop the terrorists who are killing your people.”

He emphasised the need for Benue youths to stand up against insecurity and protect their communities rather than allowing themselves to be used against one another.
