With the 2027 elections approaching, many believe only President Bola Tinubu can caution some governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress against anti-democratic rhetoric that could endanger the country’s democracy, especially with the increasing threats against opposition leaders, Davidson Iriekpen writes
One week after Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, warned the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, against entering the state without security clearance, reactions have continued to trail the governor’s outburst.
In a viral video, Okpebholo had, at a political rally in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of the state, alleged that Obi’s recent visit to the state triggered unrest and warned that such a visit must not be repeated without his approval.
