Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has warned the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, not to visit the South-South state without informing him.
Okpebholo said he could no longer guarantee Obi’s safety in the state.
“His security cannot be guaranteed. We are serious about it. Whatever that happens to him when he comes to Edo State, he will take it”.
The governor spoke in Uromi, headquarters of Esan North East Local Government, while receiving Marcus Onobun, the lawmaker representing Esan West/Igueben/Central in the House of Representatives, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Peter Obi

Okpebholo reiterated that Obi’s security in Edo was not guaranteed, insisting that the former Anambra State governor should take whatever happened to him anytime he (Obi) visits Edo without informing him.
The governor said he was serious about what he said.
“I am sending a direct message to him. He cannot come to Edo without telling me. A new Sheriff is in town.
“His security cannot be guaranteed. We are serious about it. Whatever that happens to him when he comes to Edo State, he will take it. He came the other day and donated N15 million. By the time he left after donating the money, there was crisis and three people died in Benin. Tell Obi he should not come to Edo without telling me”.
