Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has declared that he will return to Edo State despite warnings from Governor Monday Okpebholo that his safety would not be guaranteed.
Obi stated this while responding to questions from journalists in Awka concerning the governor’s threat.
The former Anambra State governor, who was in Onitsha to donate to his alma mater, Christ the King College (CKC), said he was not intimidated by threats and emphasized his commitment to investing in people.
“Threats don’t make any meaning to me. I receive threats everyday. Do you know how many times I have been threatened all over Nigeria? I receive threats everyday actually, the ones you know about was because it was vocal, but I will not be afraid,” Obi said.
He added that he would not hesitate to visit Edo again if necessary.
“If I have the opportunity to go to Benin and make donations again, trust me, I will. I have always said that we should de-emphasize politics and think more of how to invest in the people. I went to Benin to invest in people because if they have good doctors, good nurses, they will have a better life,” he stated.
