Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has denied issuing a threat to Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following his recent visit to the South-South state.
The Edo governor condemned Obi’s visit to the state, insisting that his visit coincided with the resurgence of violence in the state. Recall that Okpebholo had warned the former Anambra State governor not to visit the state again without prior notice or face the consequences.
However, Okpebholo’s remarks have attracted a lot of backlash and condemnation from both some prominent Nigerians and social media commentators.
