Former vice-president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has warned that any threat against his former presidential running mate, Peter Obi, is a threat against “all of us”.
Atiku stated this in a terse tweet on Tuesday afternoon.
He simply wrote: “Let it be known that a threat against Peter Obi or any of us is a threat against ALL of us! -AA”
Atiku’s comments come days after the governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, warned Obi not to visit the state without security clearance.
Okpebholo claimed that the last time Obi visited the state and made a donation of N15 million to a nursing school in the state, there was unrest in Benin City, the state capital, leading to the death of some people.
The governor’s comments were met with outrage and criticisms
