Enugu Governor Peter Mbah Denies Blocking Obi's Meeting

Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has refuted claims that he ordered the denial of a private facility for the Obi-Kwankwaso movement's town hall meeting in the state. This response follows a video shared on social media where Princess Ada Ogbu, the Enugu East senatorial candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), accused Mbah of attempting to prevent the meeting, which is set to feature presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Ogbu stated that they had paid N3.5 million for the hall and an additional N500,000 for outside space, yet faced obstruction. Mbah addressed the allegations on his Facebook page, labeling them as false and asserting he had no involvement in the situation.

He accused the opposition of using desperate tactics to gain public attention and reiterated that while democracy allows for freedom of expression, it does not permit defamation. He concluded by stating that there are redlines that should never be crossed.
