Elon Musk just stole 18 of Mark Zuckerberg's best AI engineers.
Zuckerberg offered his engineers $250 million each to stay at Meta.
But Elon gave them something money couldn't buy, and they abandoned Meta immediately.
Here's the offer that Zuck's own team couldn't resist:
A Constitutional Wake-Up Call to Governor Monday Okpebholo on His Remarks Concerning Peter Obi’s Visit to Edo State-
It is deeply troubling and utterly disappointing that in 2025, the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, would make a public statement suggesting that the security of a prominent Nigerian citizen and former governor, Mr. Peter Obi, could not be guaranteed in Edo State without prior notice to him as governor.
Such remarks are not only undemocratic, but they blatantly contradict the constitutional rights of every Nigerian and risk sending a dangerous message about the abuse of political power at the subnational level.
1. A Gross Violation of the Constitution-
The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Section 41) clearly guarantees every citizen the right to move freely throughout Nigeria and reside in any part of the country. No governor, including @m_akpakomiza, has the constitutional authority to require prior notice from any citizen before visiting his state.
Peter Obi, like any law-abiding Nigerian, does not need clearance from a sitting governor to interact with fellow citizens or engage in civic activities. To imply otherwise is to assault the very foundations of democracy and federalism.
2. Insecurity: A Statewide Problem, Not a Visitor’s Making-
Governor Okpebholo attempted to link @PeterObi's visit to some unfortunate deaths. But the reality remains: insecurity in Edo State did not begin with Peter Obi’s visit, and it certainly did not end there. Under Okpebholo’s watch, there have been ongoing cases of violence, cult clashes, kidnappings, and preventable deaths across multiple communities.
If security is indeed a concern, the governor should focus on strengthening policing, intelligence, and community safety, not using tragic events as political smokescreens to attack opposition figures or deflect responsibility.
3. Hypocrisy and Political Threats-
Ironically, under Okpebholo’s leadership, a known supporter of his party was seen in a widely circulated video issuing threats to supporters of other political parties in Edo State regarding the 2027 elections. Yet, there was no condemnation, no arrest, and no accountability.
What does this say about the governor’s commitment to free speech, civil engagement, and the rule of law? Or are threats acceptable only when they serve partisan interests?
4. Is It Fear or Arrogance?
Perhaps the growing popularity of Peter Obi among ordinary Nigerians — especially the youth — seems to be causing visible anxiety in certain political quarters. But rather than respond with threats and undemocratic posturing, Gov Okpebholo and his allies should focus on governance, performance, and ideas to win the people over.
Suppressing voices or intimidating visitors is not leadership; it is fear masquerading as authority.
5. A Call to President Tinubu and the National Security Adviser-
This issue goes beyond Edo State. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, @officialABAT, and the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Edo State Traditional council, and Religious leaders must take this seriously. If state governors begin drawing imaginary borders that restrict political opponents and citizens alike, we are heading toward a fragile, dangerous precedent that threatens national unity and democracy.
Silence in the face of such overreach is complicity.
My Conclusion
Governor M. Okpebholo must be reminded that leadership is not about control, but about service. He must rise above political paranoia and respect the constitutional rights of every Nigerian citizen, regardless of party affiliation. The people of Edo State, and Nigeria as a whole deserve better than veiled threats, selective outrage, and political intolerance.
Let democracy breathe. Let the constitution speak. And let all leaders remember: Power is transient, but the will of the people endures.
