Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has described the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, as a “baby politician”.
Okpebholo made the remark during an interview with Symfoni TV, where he questioned Obi’s political strength and influence.
The governor recalled an occasion when Obi visited Edo State but said he was unaware of the former Anambra State governor’s presence until he later watched a video of an event.
According to him, Obi attended a church gathering following the death of an archbishop, where he was seen saying “Amen” while Okpebholo was praying.
He said, “The other time I told him (Peter Obi) if he is coming to Edo, he should let me know, but you are the one telling me now, I didn’t know.
“The only time I saw him in Edo, he came and was in the church when the archbishop died. I didn’t know that he was there until I was watching the video where I was making a speech and I saw that while I was praying he was saying amen.
“So he is already acknowledging a stronger politician. These are baby politicians and I don’t talk about baby politicians.”
