Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has condemned the alleged siege on Governor Nyesom Wike’s hotel by police in Edo State.

Naija News had earlier reported that the Peoples Democratic Party claimed that the hotel where the Rivers State Governor is lodging in Benin, the capital of Edo state, was surrounded by over 300 policemen.

The River’s party chairman, Akawor Desmond, raised this allegation on Friday.

A thread posted on Wike’s Twitter page on Friday evening and credited to Desmond, said, “The Hotel where the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike is lodging while on official assignment in Benin, Edo State has been held siege by over 300 Policemen”

The Vice-presidential candidate of the PDP during the 2019 elections in his reaction said, “In the spirit of equity and fairness, Gov Wike and @OfficialPDPNig leaders on party assignment should be given equal opportunities as those of the APC.”

“Restricting them while Govs Ganduje, Uzodinma, and others are given unimpeded access is a negation of democracy and a caricature of the fairness promised by the APC govt.”
