The governor of Edo state doesnot have legal right to stop Obi from entering Edo state

He cant try this with Atiku, a northerner or any Yoruba man

Illiterate and criminal governor


Idiot wey fail him waec at old age

They have turned it into tribal war

This is weird

Monday Okpebolo is a product of a failed political system, someone that can not pronounce his budget figure is threatening Peter obi.. What a failed leader of our generation

Noted.

But as the chief security officer of the state is he actually wrong? to say to a non-indigine, sir kindly follow these procedures whenever you are planning to visit this state otherwise i can't guarantee your safety.

ehn OBI himself nko.. even ADDED R£L!G!ON with him own sef

Instead for opolo gov to put more efforts in area of his shortcomings, he is chasing shadow.

When you impose low IQ on people as a leader, agbero behaviour must be a common occurrence in such society.

Yes for sure. He said it because it's not a Yoruba or Hausa man. He said it also because he is an APC governor. That's what they know how to do.

More than a bigot that is what that illiterate governor is.. Can he tell kwakwanso or Atiku not to enter Edo. My happiness is that Edo people are good and I will never because of a bigot of governor and judge. Most of Edo guys here has voiced their anger on the governor..

The illerate governor is scared of the popularity of ADC through PO

We are all ready to witness an upsurge of APC's tribal and religious sentiments in preparation for their 2027 campaign run

All Nigerians are stoked and ready to counter their shenanigans headon whenever that time arrives 🤗

When Obi prevented Rufai from going to Anambra state years ago, was that tribalistic of him as well?

Why do these people think everyone is responsible to them but them to no one?

Always crying of tribalism while they themselves are guilty of what they accuse others of……he should report to ICC or FBI😂😂😂funny bunch of clowns.

They're the most corrosive tribalists in this country, sadly, they find it exceedingly difficult accepting the same treatment they give others.

That's a reckless statement from the governor and the most annoying part is the APC Chairman in Edo state supporting the shenanigan being spilled out by the governor

Was it also tribal bigotry from the governor of Benue?

This man who alongside Pat Utomi campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015 won't allow someone to hear word. What does he know about politicking?

Thank God Edo people head correct.. omor they distance themselves.. the man just dey embarrass Edo people... Edo no be small people ooo na Benin d great ancient kingdom headquarters.. one of earliest developed dynasty in Africa.. Europe confirm the City loot am. That Gov so ee na disgrace... ..even person we no go school for Edo smart still.. wisdom and boldness na their natural gift. Na him this man wan rubbish pueh Nigerians pour him spit un behalf of Edo people. ..

Na our silence cause all these problem if benue man was cautioned this one no for try am and na so we silence for corruption and systematic bad govt e reach this stage today

bigots calling others bigots. thats their modus operandi. I hope with the indigines bill people can now see through them. if you like dont borrow yourselves brains as they say!

why does an ibo man want to force himself as an indigine of benue, Jos, Calabar, Rivers, Lagos, Oyo....are you not already Nigerian citizens? tomorrow they will start to say ibos originate from jos, portharcourt, Markurdi, Ibadan, ife etc etc.

Even The Scotish dont claim to be English, nor do the irish claim to be Welsh. Americans dont claim to be indigines of America. Americans and Australians recognize the aboriginees, the indigines of the lands. But Emeka wants to claim Oyo, Ngozi wants to claim to be an indigine of Lafia, how?


but these people are always trying to distort history because they have none and have destroyed their land and now they want to take over other people's land which they will destroy the same way they destroyed theirs.

Attack the Gov please but stop this Yoruba and Hausa thing. Stop dragging Edo and Igbo people into stuff like this

Good one from Kenneth.

Let it be noted that Kenneth was the FIRST to start playing the tribal card. It’s healthy and a good one coming from him.

Watch how the same people who have been praising him for attacking Obi few months ago come here to attack him now.

Wrong, Okonkwo: There is nothing tribal about Governor Okpebholo's ban on Peter Obi.


What do we say of you Okonkwo abandoning the same Peter Obi and vilifying him and demarketing him as a man incapable of national leadership over the crisis in LP? Are we now to conclude that all Igbo people, or all lawyers, or all Actors (all demographics that you, Okonkwo, identify with), were or are against PO? You took a personal decision. Personal.

What Okpebholo has said has nothing to do with Edo people. It is personal. Iit is not tribalistic. It is at best the position of APC, or Monday's regime.

Edo people, Edo tribe and Edo sub-units love PO. You can take that to the bank.

The Governor didn't try. A leader shouldn't make controversial statements. In the video he went far attacking Obi.

u support the edo gov?what he said makes sense to u?if u call for tribal war u get it.

Obi locked elrufai up for over 24 hours during the governorship election in 2014. What goes around comes around
