A video has surfaced online showing the protocol officer attached to the Delta State Governor, identified as Mr. Tempo Mudi, brutally assaulted by youths during an APC leadership meeting held at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) Conference Centre in Warri, Delta State.
According to accounts circulating on social media, the incident occurred after Mudi reportedly addressed participants at the meeting, describing the administration of President Bola Tinubu as “the best thing to happen to Nigerians.”
Witnesses claimed that his remarks were met with hostility from some attendees, leading to a physical attack that reportedly left him with injuries.
Images shared online purportedly showed Mudi receiving medical attention following the incident.
Those sharing the reports wished the governor’s aide a speedy recovery while condemning the violence.
The incident has also sparked political debate online, with critics of the Tinubu administration linking the alleged assault to widespread public frustration over the country’s economic situation.
In a separate commentary accompanying the viral reports, the author alleged that the protocol officer chose to praise the APC-led Federal Government despite rising hardship facing many Nigerians.
The commentary cited concerns including high food prices, insecurity, and economic difficulties, arguing that many citizens are struggling to meet basic needs.
It further claimed that the reaction from some youths reflected public anger over the current state of the economy.
The post stated that instead of acknowledging the hardship experienced by ordinary Nigerians, the speaker allegedly promoted what it described as government propaganda, prompting an angry response from those present.
No official statement has yet been issued by the Delta State Government, the Delta State APC, or the Nigeria Police Force confirming the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault or identifying those responsible.
The authenticity of the claims circulating on social media has not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether any arrests have been made.
The incident, if confirmed, has renewed concerns over political intolerance and violence at party gatherings.
Observers have called for a thorough investigation to establish the facts surrounding the alleged attack and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Political analysts have also stressed that disagreements over government policies should be expressed through lawful and peaceful means rather than violence.
They emphasize that attacks on political opponents or supporters undermine democratic engagement.
