No governor is a warlord. And certainly, no state in the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a private estate. I have just watched the disturbing and disgraceful comments made by the governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, openly threatening Mr. Peter Obi for visiting Edo State and donating N15 million to a nursing school. According to reports, the governor went as far as to say that Mr. Peter Obi should not come to Edo without his permission as his security will not be guaranteed. Let me say this as clearly and respectfully as possible: Who gave you that authority, sir? Your threats are not only laughable, they are unconstitutional, anti-democratic, and reveal the dangerous mindset of those who rose to power not through the ballot of the people but through the machinery of electoral manipulation. This is exactly what happens when elections are rigged. Instead of leaders, we get emperors. Instead of public servants, we get public threats. Instead of governance, we get gangsterism. Mr @PeterObi is a citizen of Nigeria. He owes no governor permission to move freely within his country, especially not when his visit is to support the health and education of our young people, things you should have been doing as governor. If anything, you should have welcomed him, applauded him, and maybe even taken notes. But when you are installed by the will of crookedness instead of the will of the people, the presence of true leaders will always feel like a threat. Because light makes darkness uncomfortable. Let me also warn, and I say this with all sense of responsibility, that no governor, no matter how desperate, must think they can silence or intimidate Nigerians. That era is gone. You can not threaten a nation awake. Mr. @PeterObi represents hope for millions of Nigerians who are tired of politics without conscience. Any attempt to harass, restrict, or vilify him is an attack not just on him but on our democracy, and we will resist it. Edo is not under siege. Edo is not under a dictator. Edo is part of the sovereign Republic of Nigeria. And Mr Peter Obi, or any Nigerian, has every right to go there and support progress. To Governor Okpebholo, I say, You were selected to serve, not to bark threats at citizens. Nigeria belongs to all of us, not just to those who found their way to office by the manipulation of INEC or the might of godfathers. Nigeria must rise. And we will.
