An old video of the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo allegedly threatening the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has resurfaced online. The governor gave the warning on July 18, 2025 during a political event in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of the state. In the 58 second video currently making the rounds on social media, the governor could be heard warning Obi against coming into the state without prior notice. He said, “The man wey say he no get shishi, I am sending a direct message to him, there is a new sheriff in town. He cannot come to Edo State without telling me because his security will not be guaranteed. “Whatever happens to him in Edo State, he will take it. I am serious about this”. The video clip resurfaced on Tuesday following the alleged assassination attempt on Obi and other leaders of the African Democratic Congress, ADC in the state. DAILY POST reports that the politicians came under gunfire attack on Tuesday at the residence of the former Executive Governor of Edo State and currently the chairman of the ADC in the state, Chief John Odigie Oyegun. According to a viral video recorded after the incident, windscreens and body parts of Obi’s motorcade were destroyed by bullet. Reacting, some netizens linked the incident to the governor’s threat, warning that nothing should happen to the former governor. An X user @Victorfelix047 wrote, “On the 19th of July 2025. @Gov_Okpebholo threatened Peter Obi. Today being 24 February 2026 an Assssination attempt was targeted at Peter Obi and his team while in EDO state. “I hope people beating the drum for him will protect him when he is out of power if anything happens to Obi”. https://dailypost.ng/2026/02/25/security-wont-be-guaranteed-nigerians-pull-out-old-video-of-edo-gov-warning-peter-obi/

shortgun:I was wondering why they the adc were all very quiet after the Abuja election loss over the weekend. They were plotting the new script to change the narrative, they have shown up in Benin City to act it out. Bunch of comedic clowns. |

Burob:What happened in Abuja was not an election. it was state capture on full display. Didn’t you see the video of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, openly warning that he won't allow anyone who's not supporting Tinubu to win any election in FCT? And isn’t that exactly how it played out? 1 Like |

shortgun:If this is your arguments why the FCT election wasn't free and fair, then there might be something wrong with your thinking capacity. Your ADC won only 8 polling units out of 2,200 polling units. You can't rig where you are not popular. 8 polling units not even double figure and you think such party is serious to win any election 1 Like 1 Share |

Kalashnikov49:Exactly, now that the governor has acted on his threats toward Peter Obi. Their next move is to shift blame to some shadowy group. It’s really insulting how they assume everyone is as gullible as they are. |
