Sunday, July 20, 2025 - The Labour Party Caucus in the Senate has blasted Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State over his threat on the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi not to enter Edo.
This was as they asked the Inspector General of Police, IGP,
Kayode Egbetokun and the Director General, Department of State Services, Adeola
Oluwatosin Ajayi to take note of the threat.
This was contained in a statement by Senators Victor Umeh,
Ireti Kingibe, Ezea Okey and Tony Nwoye, on Saturday in Abuja.
“Mr Peter Obi is a citizen of Nigeria, and his movement is
guaranteed and should not be curtailed by sheer Executive lawlessness and
impudence.
“As a champion of democracy, nation-building and sustainable
development, Mr Peter Obi deserves protection and support from the law and all
who share the vision for a better Nigeria,” the senators said.
Okpebholo on Friday at a public event warned Obi
against visiting Edo State without security clearance.
The governor claimed that there was violence in the area
following the LP presidential candidate’s last trip.
