Aide to Monday Okpebholo Insults Peter Obi, Threatens ADC Members Before Police Commissioner

A video that has been going around online shows an aide to Governor Monday Okpebholo, Agogo the Towncrier, making a controversial statement about opposition figures.

Okpebholo’s aide could be heard in the video telling Monday Agbonika, the Commissioner of Police in Edo State, that he would turn over any member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) who was found in the state to the police.

He also called Peter Obi, who ran for president in the past, a “stupid man.”

The video shows the police commissioner smiling during the conversation, which led some people to criticize him for not reacting appropriately to the comments.

The aide, who has already been accused of threatening Peter Obi’s safety in the state, left after saying what he said in front of the commissioner

At the same time, the ADC in Edo State has gotten worse since a new State Executive led by Tony Alike took over.

There were different reports about the party’s leadership structure in the state, but Alike was named chairman along with 23 other executive members.

The National Collation Chairman, Sem Andrew Uchendu, made the announcement from the party’s secretariat.

The news comes just 24 hours after Rowland Owie, a member of the party’s National Executive Committee, said that Nosa Ehima had been chosen as the state chairman.

Kennedy Odion, the current chairman, whose term is set to end on May 19, said he didn’t know of any congresses that had taken place in the state, which made things even more confusing.

Before announcing the results, Uchendu said that he had spent three days in the state overseeing congresses at the unit, ward, local government, and state levels.

He said that party leaders in the state, led by John Odigie-Oyegun, the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, came to an agreement on how to choose the new leaders.

He said that the process was part of the party’s efforts to make sure that the state has “well-structured leadership.”

After he came out, Alike told reporters that his top priority would be to bring together unhappy party members and change the party’s direction.

He said that he had already begun talking to party leaders, starting with a visit to Odigie-Oyegun.

“We’ll leave here and go back to our private meeting.” In the next few days, we will release a policy statement. But one thing is certain, and that is the most important thing to every Nigerian. The question is, are we happy with how things are right now?

“That is the question, and that is where we are finding answers. We are going to get Nigerians to say “enough is enough” and that this country belongs to everyone. It is not the private property of one person or a group of friends.

“When the people say they are tired of a bad government, the other choice is the opposition.” Uchendu said, “So in the next few days and weeks, before the general election starts in January, we will show how we plan to make that happen.”
