A political firestorm has erupted in Nigeria after Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo warned former presidential candidate Peter Obi not to visit the state without prior security clearance, claiming he could not guarantee Obi's safety otherwise. The directive has been widely condemned by opposition leaders, civil society groups, and human rights lawyers as undemocratic and a dangerous precedent, with calls for the governor to retract his statement and apologize. Supporters of Obi and other political figures argue the move threatens freedom of movement and political opposition, while Okpebholo and his allies insist it is a necessary security protocol. The controversy has drawn national attention, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar declaring that any threat to Obi is a threat to all Nigerians. The incident highlights growing concerns about authoritarian tendencies among some Nigerian governors and the state of democracy in the country.
