Benue State Commissioner for Information, Solomon Iorpev, has stated that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, is courting trouble with the state government.

Iorpev, who was reacting to the blockage of Obi by some youths on Tuesday, said this was not the first time Obi had ignored protocol by failing to officially inform the state government about his visit to the state, considering his status.

The commissioner described Obi as a high-profile person and a former governor whose security should be provided by the host state.

He said, “A high-profile person who has been a former governor of a state is coming into the state; he should have written a letter to the State Government.
