BREAKING: A travel ban to the U.S. and U.K. for Gov. Okpebholo and his family must take effect over the threat to Peter Obi’s life has been submitted by @transparency_ng.

The growing culture of abuse of office by elected government officials must stop. The mandate every govt. carries comes from the people, and the people must be treated with honour and dignity.

JUST IN: Group Petitions US Embassy to Impose Visa Ban on Edo Governor Okpebholo Over Threats to Peter Obi parallelfactsnews.com/group-visa-ban…

May that day never come when the Freedom of Movement of any Nigerian will be restricted because of politics…. Never!

Thank you @transparency_ng for this petition A travel ban to the U.S and U.K for Gov. Okpebholo and his family must take effect. Undemocratic elements in our society must not be encouraged.

On the matter of threat to the life of Mr. Peter Obi, we have petitoned the @USinNigeria and the @UKinNigeria to request travel bans on Governor Monday Okpebholo and his family. We thank all Nigerians for standing up against this absurdity.

We view the call by Gov. Monday Okpebholo against Mr. Peter Obi as a security threat, and therefore, call on President Bola Tinubu to call the Governor to order. We also call on the IG of Police to address this issue as an urgent matter of national importance.

Death Threat by APC, Edo Chairman:: Below death threat was issued by the Edo State APC Chairman to an Edo citizen who simply discussed the Governor's budget presentation of yesterday. We hereby call on the @PoliceNG to kindly invite Mr. Jarrett for questioning.

We strongly condemn the arrest of Human Rights Activist @DeleFarotimi and his continued detention by the @PoliceNG. That he was abducted in a gestapo manner from his law firm reeks of a total disregard for human rights and citizen's freedom. Mr. Dele must be released immediately

Irrespective of their release, everyone who had a hand in the dehumanization, mental and physical torture, illegal detention and public ridiculing of those minors should be brought to book. From the IG, the Judge, the Govt Counsel, to the Force PRO. All of them must face the law.

Our request is simple; the prosecution of, and visa bans on everyone involved in the desecration of the dignity of these minors. @UN, @UNHumanRights, @WhiteHouse @POTUS @10DowningStreet, @amnesty @CNN @BBCAfrica @AlJazeera, @EmmanuelMacron @JustinTrudeau

We condemn the dehumanizing action of the Nigerian Govt towards the children who were detained for over 90 days and brought to court today against all kmown conventions. We urge the Int'l Community to call out the govt on this. @UN @WhiteHouse @CNN @UKParliament @EUinNigeria

The current unrest in Rivers state must be nipped in the bud and quickly too. The decision of the Police to withdraw from the LGA Secretariats can be pointedly said to have caused this unfortunate event. President @officialABAT needs to restore peace in the state, quickly, pls.

Anyone who commits electoral fraud, should be treated as a terrorist- Henry-Shield Nwazuruahu

Protest is a Right. We commend all peaceful protesters across Nigeria today, whose demands include a national call to #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria. We Salute Your Courage.

Peaceful protest is NOT a crime. Peaceful protest is NOT a crime. Peaceful protest is NOT a crime. Peaceful protest is NOT a crime.

We urge the President @officialABAT led Fed Govt of Nigeria to immediately release @PIDOMNIGERIA or charge him to court. Holding a citizen permanently incarcerated without legal actions amounts to an abuse of power. @UNHumanRights @WhiteHouse @antonioguterres @POTUS @CNN
