The governors threat according to CUPP is a death threat and a violation of Obis rights.
This is not the first time Obi has been cautioned by an APC-led state with the first being from the governor of Benue State.
Governor Okpebholos statement that Obi can enter the state at his own risk and will have himself to blame if anything happens to him is seen as a serious threat.
The last time Obi visited the state unrest and deaths were reported and the governor is using this as a justification for his warning.
This incident highlights the tense political climate in Nigeria and the need for politicians to respect each others rights and safety.
