Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has denied allegations that he ordered the withdrawal of a private venue for a town hall meeting featuring Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi and his running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso in Enugu. The governor described the allegation as false, stating he had no involvement in the decision to deny the organizers the use of the facility.
The controversy arose after a video circulated on social media alleging that Governor Mbah gave an order to withdraw the Amadeo Event Centre, which had been booked for the event. The opposition party, NDC, has been accused of attempting to draw public attention through the allegation, with Governor Mbah warning that freedom of expression does not grant the right to defamation.
