A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has alleged that the assassination attempt on former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was by the government or its agents.

Okonkwo made this allegation on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.

He was reacting to the gunmen attack on Peter Obi’s convoy in Edo State on Tuesday.

According to him: “The attack on Peter Obi in Edo State was an attempted assassination by the government or their agents.

“I was in touch with the former Edo State Governor, John Odigie Oyegun, who detailed on the alleged assassination attempt.

This incident is attributed to either government entities or their agents. Recall a previous threat issued by the current Edo State Governor, who warned Peter Obi against entering the state without his clearance, stating his security would not be guaranteed.

“This past threat was discussed on air as a danger to opposition leaders. The recent events transpired as individuals gathered to welcome Olumide Akpata, former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), an organization now seemingly under attack.

“The welcoming party encountered a convoy of ten vehicles, led by a pilot vehicle.”

Jokers. There's no reason to assassinate Obi. In fact, if Obi dies, it's bad market for APC.

Una win just 8 out of a whole 2,822 PU at the FCT council election and you are saying APC wants to eliminate you.

You self, shey you fit pray make your helper kpai? If you don't know, "It's a pleasure for Tinubu to see you all in disarray" so he can always ganusi. Funny lots.

EponObi:
Why would APC assassinate you? For what? You wey be say your party lost 2,814 out of 2,822 polling units in the FCT election last week is who they will assassinate? Bro, you are no threat to them. In fact, they are praying you live well beyond 2027 and you contest so no stranger they don't know will come in and replace you. You are already in self-destruction mode with your lazy thinking and attitude and weak strategies; there is no need helping you, bro.

Mtchew.

EponObi:
The same thing is happening now. You have internal crisis that is enveloping ADC in Edo, such that gunmen attacked you and a former governor of the state. Instead initiating a high level meeting with top ADC members and the factional members to negotiate and reconcile, you are pointing the blame at Tinubu, APC, FG, and the Edo State governor.

Darekiki:
What do u expect from Kenneth Jackson

helinues:
The jokers. Always insensitive about issues

Which of the government? Do you think whichever government will want him dead and he would escape when they are not having convoy of security protecting them.

I don't support violence politics, whether it was staged or it happened in real, Edo people shouldn't play such kind of backward politics in this century

AustineE1:
Kenneth Okonkwo say no more!
Our people use to say 'the owl that cried at night,in the morning the child died'....who cried earlier at night about Peter Obi's security not guaranteed in Edo state and in the morning this happened.
Let these people test they will of over 40million Obidient youths and see the power of mass mobilization against 'resident evil'.
