The tribalis are usually the first to accuse others. Was Obi tribalistic when he told El Rufai the same thing in the past.

Though the governor was wrong, Kenneth was wrong to wipe out tribal sentiment

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.

undecided
How many Non indegens are following the procedures, or are the procedures ment for only PO??

As a Nigerian, how many Non indegens get clearance from State Governors before visiting their States??

Many non indigenes of different states move from one to another across Nigeria.

What are "these procedures" they follow to enter these states?

When did it become compulsory for Nigerians to follow "these procedures" before traveling to any state in Nigeria?

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? undecided
very different case, it's election day, he was in Anambra and was just restricted from moving out of his hotel room. Untill after the election as a non indigene he can't vote

Indeed he is very wrong,.

He is the Governor of the State. His communication with Peter Obi should have been private and limited to advice. Obi is now a private citizen and can go to anywhere he choses. He may choose to notify the Governor only out of courtesy. The Governor has no right whatsover to to stop any citizen of Nigeria from accessing the state,........unless there is an election going on or he has credible intelligence regarding the visit.

This is at best very puerile. for a public officer of his standing.

Actor Kenneth Okonkwo, speaking live on Arise TV's Morning Show, accused the Edo State Governor of exhibiting tribalistic and ethnic bias.

Reacting to recent comments made about Peter Obi, Okonkwo stated: “If Peter Obi were a leader from Hausa land or Yoruba land, this governor would not dare make such a statement.”

His remarks have sparked debate across social and political spaces, with many weighing in on the growing tensions ahead of the 2027 elections.
This living in bondage failed politicians is looking for attention. With is wide mouth.

Obi brought all these threats and disrespect on himself, the attack on him is not tribal

Benue state governor also advised him to stay away from his state because Obi was politicising the situation (insecurity) in his state

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

It is wrong. His utterances were reckless and irresponsible.

Let's not indulge bad behaviour. It's distasteful for a governor to utter such words

Kenneth said it all. If it were Fulani person, he dare not make such statement.

No be the same governor that was remote controlled by northwestern Fulani governors in kano due to uromi killing.

That's the same fellow that quickly went to the north to prostrate and beg for forgiveness when some Edo youths had issues with some fulanis, now he threatening PETER OBI.

The security apparatus should question okpebholo and the APC chairman immediately.

We need democracy without violence in our country Nigeria.

Tinubu should take action to foster free and fare election in Nigeria

You sef reason what Okonkwo said....that's 101% truth.
I watched him this morning, although I share in his sentiments, but he shouldn't have said it. He was fuming this morning.
I disagree in most of his submissions in the past, but for today's interviews he opened up a lot for one to ponder.
He also analysed why Obi should deputise Atiku to win the election. I concure, even though i have never thought about it that way, not even the so called Obidients will disagree with him on that.
I am Peter Obi's supporter but now I have a different thought on Obi contesting.

Obi must deputise Atiku to win
