Wike backs Edo governor’s call for Peter Obi to give prior notice before visiting

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has thrown his weight behind Edo state governor, Monday Okpebholo, who has faced wide criticism over the comment he made against former presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

While commissioning commercial buses in Edo state today July 22, Wike said the governor was right for asking Obi to always notify him before he coming to Edo state. 

According to Wike, Obi is a political figure that can be harmed if not protected and that if a tragic incident happens, it is the governor of the visited state that will be accused of masterminding the attack.

In his words

‘’I have watched on TV unnecessary debate., That is why I say Nigerians forget easily When I was governor, when Peter Obi was coming to my state, he notified me  he was coming. I provided logistics, vehicle for him to use because at that level, as a presidential candidate, if he does not tell you and anything happens, the governor will be held responsible. People should stop politicking when the truth is being told. 

Obi knowing fully well with his so-called coalition, anything can happen. They will accuse the governor that he was behind it. So the statement you made, you are quite right”
