Edo Commissioner for Information claims Peter Obi’s visit caused a stampede that led to death of three persons but fails to name the exact location of the stampede

The Edo State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Paul Ohonbamu, says the recent visit of the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the state led to a stampede that caused the de@th of three people.

Ohonbamu made the claim in an interview with Channels TV today July 21. He however failed to mention the area in the state where the stampede reportedly occurred.

Ohonbamu said

‘’Yes, intelligent report brought it out, Two d!ed in the hospital. They rushed them actually. Let me tell you, many of these things, we do not alarm the public with some of these things. You know that anywhere Obi enters, there is this euphoria. People do not know him deeply, they just see him and then say ‘This is Obi, the messiah they want and they rush after him. That euphoria, the ecstasy can cause stampede but it did not reflect in votes’'

When asked if it was at the school of nursing Obi visited when he went to the state the said stampede occurred, the Commissioner said

‘’Apart from going to that school, he went to other places. He cannot just go to that school and go like that. ‘’

When asked when the stampede happened, he said July 7.

When asked where exactly did the stampede occurred, he said


‘’In Benin, they took some of them to the hospital. I did not follow Peter Obi to where he followed but I know that is where it happened. I was supposed to address the press on it but they said do not panic the public. Peter Obi knows all this.''

Hobi and bad news are inseparable.
The only good thing about him is his pretty wife.

Three people died in stampede. He does not know where they stampede occured

All he knows is that the stampede occured where Peter Obi was?

I wonder how that Edo governor became the flag bearer not to talk of being voted as governor. This show the level our politics has degenerated to. We live in trying times and it will take a long time before this country can get better

No state government has the right to stop any Nigerian citizen from entering their state.

However, in the case of Peter Obi, as a top personality in the country, he is expected to obtain security clearance from the chief security officer of the state, which is the governor.

The governor was right in his comments; it was the media that misinterpreted his statement.

Peter Obi will continue to haunt them and remain their worst nightmare not because of noise or propaganda, but because his presence reminds Nigerians of what genuine leadership could look like. The desperation to manufacture a tragedy without facts only exposes how threatened they feel. You don't fight a shadow this hard unless it keeps you awake at night. grin
Re: Commissioner, Paul Ohonbamu Struggles To Prove That "Obi Caused Stampede In Edo" by TenderManiac: 10:44am On Jul 22, 2025
These people have no case against Obi.
We are showing them their error but they're still wallowing in their mediocrity, trying to prove what is not. For the first time, I'm ashamed to share same state with these people.
Re: Commissioner, Paul Ohonbamu Struggles To Prove That "Obi Caused Stampede In Edo" by mastermaestro(m): 10:44am On Jul 22, 2025
I am ashamed that Edo state government will not swallow the humble pie and let this executive blunder go away on its own. The more they release statements, the dumber they sound. Rest nau!!!
