Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has issued a stern warning in response to recent threats allegedly made by Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, against Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
In a strongly worded statement posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Atiku declared that a threat against Peter Obi or any member of the opposition is a threat against everyone.
“Let it be known that a threat against Peter Obi or any of us is a threat against ALL of us” , he said.
The statement has sparked a flurry of reactions across the political space, with many praising Atiku’s show of solidarity and firm stance against political intimidation.
Governor Okpebholo reportedly made the remarks during a recent public appearance, drawing sharp criticism from various quarters. While the full details of the alleged threat remain unclear, Atiku’s response signals a united front among key opposition leaders against any form of harassment or suppression.
Analysts say the warning underscores the growing call for tolerance, unity, and decorum in Nigeria’s democratic process, especially as the 2027 general elections draw closer.
