Head of Media, Labour party’s Presidential Campaign Council, Duran Onifade who made this known in a statement said Obi was attacked on his way to the airport after a town hall meeting with women and a successful rally at the Muhammad Dikko stadium.
He said their principal’s car was pelted with heavy stones which damaged parts of the vehicle, noting that Obi and other occupants of the car were unhurt.
“Our candidate had met with women in a townhall and then held a hugely successful Rally at the Muhammad Dikko Stadium. However, on his way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the car our candidate was riding in with heavy stones from his drivers’ side causing substantial damage to the vehicle,” he said.
“To the glory of God, Mr Obi and other occupants of the car were unhurt. Subsequently another set of thugs also threw stones outside the stadium which damaged several vehicles including that of our official stage crew,” he added.
