The government of Edo State has come out to explain that Governor
Monday Okpebholo’s warning to Peter Obi, telling him not to visit the
state without his knowledge was not an attack on the former Labour Party
presidential candidate.
The governor had made the remark while receiving defectors on Friday.
Okpebholo’s remark was widely condemned by Nigerians who noted that the governor was ignorant of the constitution.
Responding, Ituah insisted that Okpebholo respects Obi and all Nigerians.
Parts of a statement issued by the Edo governor’s spokesman read: “Where misunderstandings arise, it is the responsibility of leaders to clarify, not to condemn. And that is what this moment calls for: clarity.
“The governor’s comment was not an attack. It was a statement borne out of official protocol, not personal bias.
“Let this moment not divide us but deepen our resolve for understanding.
“Let it remind us that even in disagreement, we must preserve our common humanity.”
