Address This Illiterate’s Rascality – Idam Blames Tinubu For Okpebholo’s Threat On Obi

Activist lawyer Maduabuchi Idam has called on President Bola Tinubu to take action against what he described as the unruly conduct of Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo.

Idam blamed Tinubu for Okpebholo’s anti-democratic threat against the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Describing the governor as half literate, Idam said Okpebholo should have understood that the constitution allows Obi to visit Edo State at will and live there permanently.

In a statement he signed, Idam said: “I will rather blame President Tinubu for Governor Okpebholo’s reckless anti democratic threat against Mr. Peter Obi.

“The President appears to have endorsed every ill-mannered conduct exhibited in favour of his 2027 ambition to remain as president despite his awful performance.

“Otherwise, Governor Okpebholo in his half literacy would be able to understand that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria permits Mr. Obi not only to visit Edo State at will but to permanently live in the state, if that be his desire.

“The fact that Governor Okpebholo was successfully foisted on the people of Edo State despite horrible educational status, does not permit him to proudly advertise his illiteracy in public.

“Perhaps, he needs a private tutor to help him learn that if such threats were to be issued by every other state governor against him – he would be confined only to Edo State, through out his life.

“Mr. President is urged to quickly address the growing rascality being displayed by desperate political elements who has thrown caution and modernity into the air just to be seen as loyal to him.

“The shaky Nigeria’s democracy must not be sacrificed on the pulpit of Tinubu’s 2027 ambition.”
