Responding, Okonkwo said he sees the governor’s comment as an attack on Igbos. According to him, the governor would not make such a remark on any leader from Hausa or Yoruba ethnic divide.
He, however, refused to respond to the comments by the APC chairman in Edo state, Tenebe, in which he claimed that the governor was right in asking Obi not to visit the state without permission. According to Tenebe, the people of Edo state hate Obi so he should not come to their state. read here
