Peter Obi Lied; I Blocked Him From Visiting IDP Camp For Lack Of Courtesy: Alia by Maxymilliano(op): 9:41am On Apr 25, 2025

Governor Hyacinth Alia has given a reason for his blocking major opposition figure Peter Obi from visiting the IDP camp in Benue.

Mr Alia accused the Labour Party leader of violating standard protocols by failing to inform the governor ahead of his visit as courtesy demands.

Mr Alia, in an interview with TVC on Thursday, said Mr Obi was blocked from visiting the Benue IDP camp because his “intention” was unknown, and he violated protocols by not informing him in advance.

“A very respected Peter Obi was a governor. If you are coming into someone’s state, there are protocols. Very high personality; you are coming into someone’s state, and your party does not even know you are coming.

“I, the sitting governor, did not know you were coming. Then you are going into where I’m protecting even the most, the IDP camp. It’s my duty to protect them. They’ve been displaced. I need to protect them even some more. I don’t know the intent you have,” Mr Alia explained.

He added, “Is it not courteous enough for me to know as a sitting governor and even to provide more security to you and prepare the minds of the IDPs that a guest is coming to visit them?”

The governor denied claims that he was unreachable when the former Anambra called to inform him of his visit.

“No, that’s not the right narrative. I can never politicise that. I’m the one bearing the brunt, pain and sorrows of the IDPs in my state,” Mr Alia stated. “No. That’s not the true story. If he (Mr Obi) couldn’t reach me, I have a chief of staff, I have an SSG, (and) I have a PPS. That’s not true.”

Last week, Mr Alia said he could not guarantee the safety of any individual or group visiting Benue without his knowledge or clearance, barring Mr Obi from visiting the state.

However, Mr Obi expressed displeasure at how Mr Alia’s government allegedly politicised his planned visit to the troubled Benue.

Do Obi allow people into his own state anyhow when similar incident happened ? We all remember vividly what he did to Elrufia so your likes that paint the fool a saint should shut up.

So elrufai, leaving his state as a FCT minister coming to anambra state during elections to induce voters against the sitting governor is what you are trying to equate to Peter obi, a private citizen visiting benue state to commiserate with IDP's and support medical institutions?

Hmm, all these illiterate APC minions with their peculiar style of gaslighting ehn grin

Peter Obi should visit Orsu LGA in Imo State and Ihiala LGA in Anambra. They have been victims of ESN slaughtering since 2021.

Father Governor, this is medicine after death. He contacted your ADC, and you acknowledged that fact.

We know what happened, it's all politics. The earlier statement issued by the Benue State Government, and later by your Principal Special Assistant on National Programs, Civil Society, Voter Education, and Strategic Interventions, Solomon Semaka, says it all: it’s politics, playing games with the lives of Nigerians, and Benue people in particular.

Father Governor should channel that same energy toward stopping the marauding killer herdsmen who are ravaging Benue State and going on a killing spree. That way, lives won’t be lost, properties won’t be destroyed, people won’t be displaced, there won’t be any need for IDP camps, and no one would need to come visiting.

Do you have their data. Publish and be rest assured that Obi will reach out.
IDP Camp is a place with inmates and a known location in case you don't know

OBi claimed he contacted your ADC... You didn't deny that...

Obi has been going from States to state, has visited Benue before... So definitely something changed and it's not about informing you

You are speaking up because you have realised Benue people have demonstrated they are not happy with what you did

He needs to visit you rather.
With your "pay as you post" occupation, obviously you need such humanitarian visits more than the guys at the IDP camps..

See confused Governor. You blocked him from coming to the State. He never needed permission to visit the Nursing School.

Did the Governor make up for his bloated ego to the IDP and Nursing School for loss of revenue and assistance?

If a Rev Fathers categorically says Mr Obi is a liar, then this finally confirms all we have always known.

Just before you attack, just remember that even Obi himself said that his family members always fact-check him in his own house because they know more than all of us that he is lamba.

“No, that’s not the right narrative. I can never politicise that. I’m the one bearing the brunt, pain and sorrows of the IDPs in my state,” Mr Alia stated. “No. That’s not the true story.

If you want me to contact you, what’s the work of people like your ADC ?

The only person playing politics here is the governor, and it is quite unfortunate.

Why has he not directed the same rights, effort, and resources toward addressing the marauding killer herdsmen who are devastating the entire Benue State, engaging in violent sprees, destroying lives, property, and farmland? Had this been the case, it could have prevented the displacement of citizens, the creation of IDP camps, and the need for external visits.

TimeManager, speak the truth you claim to embrace
