Benue State Commissioner for Information, Solomon Lorpev, has warned reporters against seeking comments from the state’s Chief Press Secretary over the controversy surrounding NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi’s visit to Benue State.
Lorpev reportedly told journalists that Obi’s visit was a state matter and that the Chief Press Secretary had no authority to comment on the development.
He said, “Obi’s Visit to Benue Is a State Matter, No CPS Has Right to Comment.”
The statement has sparked reactions online, with some Nigerians questioning the decision and seeking clarity over the events surrounding Obi’s visit.
One user asked what was happening behind the scenes, while another questioned whether the Chief Press Secretary was not supposed to represent the state.
