Peter Obi: ‘Apologise for embarrassing Edo people’ – Abati to Gov Okpebholo
A former presidential aide, Reuben Abati, has urged the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to humble himself and apologise to Peter Obi.
DAILY POST reports that apart from the few backings he had received from the likes of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, the governor’s threat to Obi has been met with condemnations from Nigerians of all walks of life.
However, Okpebholo came out on Tuesday to say he has no regret telling Obi to always notify him while coming to the state.
Okpebholo noted that his directive was only an advice and not a threat.
He recalled that his failure to adhere to such directive by a Commissioner of Police during the administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki caused the death of his police orderly, Inspector Akor Onu, at the Benin Airport.
But Reuben Abati, a popular media personality, said the governor does not have such powers to demand permission from Obi.
“If Peter Obi decides tomorrow to take a second wife, will Okpebholo say he cannot come to Edo and take an Edo woman?” he queried.
“He should apologize for embarrassing Edo people,” Abati said.
