Kenneth Okonkwo, an African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, has claimed that the government or its operatives were responsible for the assassination attempt on former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Okonkwo made the claim on Tuesday during an appearance with Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.
He was reacting to the gunmen who attacked Peter Obi’s convoy in Edo State on Tuesday.
“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 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 organisation now seemingly under attack.
“The welcoming party encountered a convoy of ten vehicles, led by a pilot vehicle.”
