State APC Chairman Jarrett Tenebe made the statement on Saturday while backing Governor Monday Okpebholo’s earlier warning to Obi. He claimed Obi’s last visit to Edo led to the deaths of three people, though he provided no specific details.

“The party believes the governor was right in warning Peter Obi to get security clearance before coming into the state because of the opinion people have about him here,” Tenebe said.

The comment came after the APC confirmed Joseph Ikpea and Omosede Igbinedion as its candidates for the Edo Central Senatorial District and Ovia Federal Constituency, respectively.
Tenebe said the party was preparing for an intense campaign ahead of the 2024 governorship election, vowing to prove the APC actually won the last election. “We will hit the ground running,” he said.
Meanwhile, APC primary officials confirmed both Ikpea and Igbinedion emerged unopposed after their opponents stepped down.
