Obono-Obla dismisses Atiku’s claim of insecurity in Calabar

Human rights activist and APC chieftain Obono-Obla rejected Atiku Abubakar’s claims of insecurity in Calabar, calling them gossip far removed from reality. He described the Cross River State capital as one of Nigeria’s safest cities and praised Governor Bassey Otu’s security measures, including appointing a retired major general as state security adviser. Regarding stones thrown at the campaign convoy of Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Obono-Obla called it an isolated incident and suggested it could reflect internal disaffection within Obi’s party.
