Popular content creator De Peters has called out Ebonyi comedian Sir One, alleging that the comedian sent him threatening messages after he criticised the Ebonyi State Governor.
De Peters reportedly made a video questioning the governor’s administration and what he described as poor governance in the state. He also criticised comments attributed to the governor concerning the 2027 presidential election, particularly an alleged warning about the consequences the state could face if residents fail to deliver their votes for President Bola Tinubu.
Following the video, De Peters claimed that Sir One reached out to him through direct messages and sent what he described as threatening messages.
The content creator subsequently brought the alleged exchange to public attention, raising concerns over the reaction his criticism received from another entertainer from the state.
The controversy has since drawn attention online, with discussions centring on whether entertainers and public figures should be able to freely criticise government policies and statements without facing intimidation or threats.
The comments about the 2027 election have also added a political dimension to the dispute, as conversations around political loyalty and voting expectations continue to gain traction ahead of the presidential election.
De Peters has maintained that his criticism was directed at issues concerning governance and the welfare of Ebonyi residents, rather than a personal attack.
As of the time of this report, the allegations concerning the messages remain De Peters’ account of the incident, and there has been no independently verified evidence establishing the exact content or intent of the alleged threats. Sir One’s response to the accusation was also not immediately available.
The development has nevertheless sparked reactions among social media users, with many following the unfolding disagreement between the two Ebonyi-based entertainers.
