Nigerian TikTok star Peller has disclosed that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), reached out to him to discuss plans for a livestream on his platform.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Peller made the revelation while clarifying that the proposed interaction with the former Anambra State governor should not be viewed as an endorsement of any presidential candidate.

The content creator explained that Obi had expressed interest in appearing on his platform for a livestream, although he did not disclose when the session would take place.

Peller also distanced himself from political campaigning, stressing that hosting Obi would not mean he was encouraging his followers or fans to vote for the politician.

According to the streamer, his intention is simply to engage Obi in a livestream where his audience would have the opportunity to ask questions.

Speaking during a livestream on Wednesday night, Peller said he was excited after receiving the request from the former governor.

“I woke up this morning smiling. Peter Obi reached out to me that he want to do a livestream with me. Before you people get the wrong idea, I’m not promoting any Presidential Candidate, and I’m not asking you to vote for Peter Obi. I just want to stream with him on my platform,” he stated.

The secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State has been attacked by suspected thugs.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State has been attacked by suspected thugs.
The incident, which was reported on Wednesday, occurred barely a week after suspected thugs allegedly attacked supporters of the party in Enugu State, leaving one person dead.
Recall that the Enugu State chapter of the NDC confirmed the death of one of its members, Nworie Christopher, who was reportedly shot during an attack on the party’s campaign office in the Government Reserved Area of Enugu.
Christopher, a native of Affa in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, died from gunshot injuries sustained during the incident on October 10, 2026.
According to the party, the deceased was among its supporters allegedly attacked by armed thugs during a gathering at the campaign office of its governorship candidate, Christian Chinyeaka Ohaa.
Unlike the Enugu incident, no deaths had been reported in the latest attack in Edo State as of the time of filing this report. However, a video circulating online showed damage to property at the party’s secretariat.
The latest incident has raised fresh concerns among civil society organisations and political commentators over the reported attacks on political party offices. They warned that continued violence could threaten the credibility of the electoral process if left unchecked.
In the video showing the vandalised office, a woman accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being responsible for the attack.
“The last one happened in Enugu, where one person died. Now they have brought it to Edo. APC, your end is here,” she said.
The circumstances surrounding the attack and the identity of those responsible were not established in the report.
