Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that any threat or attack on former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, should be considered a threat to all well-meaning Nigerians.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, July 22, Atiku stated:
“Let it be known that a threat against Peter Obi or any of us is a threat against ALL of us! – AA”
The former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate made the statement in reaction to controversial remarks made by Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo.
Governor Okpebholo, while speaking at a defection ceremony for federal lawmaker Marcus Onobun into the All Progressives Congress (APC), warned that Peter Obi must inform him before visiting the state, claiming it was necessary to guarantee Obi’s safety. The comment has since drawn widespread criticism from opposition figures and concerned citizens.
Obi had earlier visited St. Philomena Hospital School of Nursing Sciences in Benin City, Edo State, where he donated N15 million to support an ongoing project at the institution.
