 Abia Government Berates NDC Gubernatorial Candidate Ogah Over Claims of Supporting Atiku The Abia State Government has dismissed allegations by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) gubernatorial candidate in the state, Etugo Ogah, that it is backing Atiku Abubakar and Chibuike Amaechi of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 presidential election. Ogah made the claim while addressing members of his party recently. He alleged that the Abia State Government is neither supporting President Bola Tinubu nor Peter Obi, but is instead supporting Atiku Abubakar and Amaechi. “The present government of Abia, they are not supporting Tinubu or Peter Obi, they are supporting Atiku and Amaechi and I want to reveal it to you people,” Ogah was quoted as saying.

EDO COMMISSIONER ACCUSES PETER OBI OF HYPOCRISY AND DISREGARD FOR PROTOCOL. (PHOTO).


 Edo Commissioner Accuses Peter Obi of Hypocrisy and Disregard for Protocol


Edo State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Paul Ohonbamu, has accused Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, of hypocrisy and flouting security protocols during a recent visit to the state. The commissioner’s remarks follow Obi’s July 7 visit, which allegedly violated a police advisory against public gatherings and sparked controversy.


Ohonbamu referenced a 2013 incident when Obi, then governor of Anambra State, allegedly detained former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai for 48 hours, describing it as an “abuse of power” and a sign of Obi’s disregard for lawful protocol. “El-Rufai himself admitted he was detained for 48 hours in 2013. That wasn’t just an abuse of power—it reflected a pathological fixation with raw authority,” Ohonbamu said on Monday.


The commissioner criticized Obi’s supporters, known as “Obidients,” for fueling what he called politically motivated uproar. He clarified that Governor Monday Okpebholo’s request for Obi to notify the state government of future visits was not a threat but a call for proper security arrangements. “If something goes wrong, it’s the government that’ll be blamed,” Ohonbamu stated, noting that other politicians comply with such protocols.


Ohonbamu also alleged that Obi’s disregard for procedure extended to a past incident in Benue State, where Governor Hyacinth Alia reportedly blocked his entry. He further claimed that Obi’s ₦15 million donation to a nursing school during his Edo visit masked deeper issues, accusing him of creating “euphoria” that led to a stampede, resulting in at least three deaths. “Intelligence reports confirmed two people died in the hospital. The governor doesn’t want casualties in the state,” he said.


Describing Obi’s actions as “embedded in fraud, deceit, and corruption,” Ohonbamu questioned the sincerity of his public gestures. “You don’t give the way others do. That’s outright hypocrisy,” he added. The commissioner urged Obi to adhere to lawful protocols to avoid further controversies or risks to public safety.
