Okpebholo Is Right. As A Gov, Obi Notified Me Before Coming To Rivers - Wike by fergie001(mod):
I have watched on television of recent, unnecessary debates, and that is why I say Nigerians forget history. When I was Governor, when Peter Obi was coming to my state, he notified me that he was coming to my state. I provided logistics, vehicles for him to use because at that level, as a first time Presidential Candidate, if he does not tell you and anything happens, the Governor will be held responsible, and people should stop politicking when the truth is been told.

Obi knowing fully well, with their so-called coalition, anything can happen and they will accuse the Governor of been behind it. So the statement you made, you are quite right, you didn't say don't come, all I am saying, if you are coming, tell me, because I am here to protect you. People pay, they give people money, they go to television but you have never told Nigerians don't come to Edo and you will never do that. But this so-called profiled people, who say they are big names, in this political period we are in, we have to be careful.

Some people can give you bad name, then go and harm people and say you are responsible because he knows a coalition member is coming. So Governor, you are right, you are right, if the man says he won't listen to you it's okay, you have done your own work. People play to the gallery, this is not where a Presidential Candidate will be carrying tray to serve food. No no no, and you know this is pretence. How long will you keep serving the food, how long? As a President, then you will now be serving food and Nigerians will be laughing, Oh, how humble, who told you he meant it, who told you that? and you people give audience to that kind of thing.

And somebody will be telling you as a Presidential Candidate when I win as a President, I will be using commercial plane and you think he is telling you the truth, which security will allow you? Who? You must accept the simple truth. And Nigerians you like people who will play you wayo. You don't like those who will tell you the simple truth. When he was Governor, was he serving food? Was he? But now election is coming, he wants to serve. Go and listen to him nah.

So Governor, don't bother yourself, stand firm, stand firm in any decision you have taken. If they don't talk about you, then you are not a Governor. Anyday I wake up and nothing is said about me, I say something is wrong somewhere . So, It is my business to keep Nigerians busy to be reading about me. So don't bother yourself, go ahead. What is important is do you have the support of your people? Yes. Once you have that, go ahead.

People like Oshiomhole is here, former Deputy Governors are here, the Speaker has told you, if you need more money, come for supplementary, we will give you.

Wike should stop this ogogoro behavior. We know he has invested heavily in the current calamitous Edo State government and wants to reap

We have laws

There’s nothing wrong with informing a governor about a visit, it’s simply a matter of courtesy.

However, the situation here is different. The governor is acting as though it's a right that he must grant permission, and Nigerians are rightly pointing out that it is not. By issuing such threats, he is infringing on Peter Obi’s right to freedom of movement, as enshrined in our Constitution.

Okpebholo didn't say it in the right manner. He said it with rascality and threats. The WAEC certified failure of a governor is trying to twist the narrative. He should apologize to the people of Edo State.
Chief security officer my f00t!! He should go secure Edo people first.

Re: Okpebholo Is Right. As A Gov, Obi Notified Me Before Coming To Rivers - Wike by BeginsAtHome(f): 5:15pm On Jul 22, 2025
If he is right now issue.

I just want Mr "it is confusing me" to know that Peter was once a governor and he took will be an ex someday too.

I will be waiting to see how many excuses he'd need to take before crossing the Niger.

Wike is outdoing himself to show that he can still offer something to Tinubu but the approach is wrong. It puts off a lot of neutrals and undecided voters. Unless APC decides to engage in brazen rigging as was done in Rivers by Wike, Tinubu will still not win the South outside of his Southwest region.

We see a lot of rubbish in this country.
So private individual will now have to notify the governor before going to any state?

This is madness, some people are mad, totally man
Re: Okpebholo Is Right. As A Gov, Obi Notified Me Before Coming To Rivers - Wike by Otunskii: 5:19pm On Jul 22, 2025
Wike is always talking rubbish. Is Peter Obi visiting Edo State as a presidential candidate? He's an ordinary citizen like every other person. Wike I will advise you go and defend your recklessness as regards how you allocated lands to your siblings in Abuja. That should be your priority for now. Idiot
Re: Okpebholo Is Right. As A Gov, Obi Notified Me Before Coming To Rivers - Wike by Olu1000: 5:20pm On Jul 22, 2025
This drunkard again !! Because you spearheaded the rigging that brought the illiterate into power , you think you can dictate whatever happens in Edo State ! Your end is near & you will pay for your actions
Re: Okpebholo Is Right. As A Gov, Obi Notified Me Before Coming To Rivers - Wike by adioolayi(m): 5:21pm On Jul 22, 2025
Na the way he is making noise about it that is wrong.

What's wrong in informing one of his aides to pass this message in a more civil and quiet manner by reaching out to Peter Obi's camp...instead of all these media dramahuh

Make we no lie, Peter Obi is not just ordinary citizen..
His presence will command loads of people and for security reasons...the State Government should be aware he will be in town.

God forbid, if anything happens to him in that state...won't Nigerians hold the State Government liablehuh So, make the two parties have a gentlemen conversation and solve this issue
