I have the right to like or ha.te & I ha.te Peter Obi – Edo APC Chairman, Tenebe insists

2

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Jarret Tenebe, has openly declared his h@tred for Peter Obi, insisting he has every right to express such a sentiment

Recall Edo state governor, Monday Okpebholo at a political event had instructed that the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi must always seek clearance from him before he visits the state.

At a press conference held in the state over the weekend, Tenebe supported the governor, saying that Obi is ‘well-h@ted’ by many people in Edo state, including himself.

The Edo APC Chairman said “The governor can say that because of the kind of h@tred people have for Peter Obi in the state including me and when you have so many of us that have h@tred for people like that, most especially when they came to Edo state and people d!ed, it is proper for him to tell the governor before he comes so that people like us can be sent on errand out of Edo before he can come and possibly go.”

During a live interview on TVC, Tenebe however reaffirmed this, standing by his comments.

“The opposite of h@te is love. If I don’t love you, I h@te you. I know I expressed myself, so I do not hide my feelings. I do not like Peter Obi. I still maintain it, and if I do not like somebody, I h@te the person,” he said.

When the TV host suggested that “dislike” would have been a more appropriate term, Tenebe rejected the notion, insisting he is not someone who stays neutral.

“No! The difference between hate and love is what you are saying—being in the middle. I don’t stay in the middle; I am an extremist. I do not like Peter Obi; I hate him. I have the right to like or h@te,” he said.

He further argued that his comments are protected under Nigeria’s constitution.

“The constitution of Nigeria is clear on freedom of expression. I can express how I feel about somebody. The constitution does not say, ‘Don’t hate somebody’ or that you must not hate someone. So I can decide to h@te or love somebody,” he added.
