The Edo State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Paul Ohonbamu, has accused former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi of hypocrisy and disregard for lawful protocol, alleging that Obi bypassed security protocols during his recent visit to the state.
Ohonbamu cited past incidents where Obi allegedly detained former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for 48 hours in Anambra State, questioning Obi’s commitment to the rule of law.
However, Governor Monday Okpebholo has denied issuing any threat, insisting his comments were misinterpreted.
The controversy has sparked reactions, with human rights lawyer Femi Falana urging the governor to withdraw his statement and apologize.
