ABUJA — National Chairman of Igbo Agenda Dialogue, IAD, Chief Chekwas Okorie, has condemned the reported blocking of Peter Obi from paying a humanitarian visit to Yelwata community in Benue State, describing the incident as “one provocation too many.”

Okorie said preventing Obi from visiting victims of the June attack in the community was dangerous and condemnable.

He spoke in Abuja, Wednesday, while recalling an open letter he wrote to President Bola Tinubu on March 12, 2026, titled, “Halt the Brewing Anarchy in Nigeria,” in which he warned against actions capable of heightening political tensions in the country.

According to him, subsequent events had reinforced the concerns raised in the letter.
