The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has described the allegation that he is inciting people of the South-East against the federal government as baseless.

Obi stated this in a statement via his verified X handle on Thursday. Recall that minister of works, David Umahi, while speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting in Lagos on Wednesday, accused Obi of inciting people of the south-east against the federal government over the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project.

Umahi said Obi implemented the demolition of structures for road infrastructure while he was governor of Anambra.

The former governor of Anambra said the allegation is a “baseless distraction,” intended to tarnish his character.

He said his “focus is on fostering constructive dialogue and inclusivity, rather than engaging in divisive politics.”

Obi said he would not reduce himself to the level of those who wallow in ethnic politics.

He stated, “Regarding allegations of incitement against the government, I firmly reject these unfounded accusations aimed at tarnishing my character.

“My focus is on fostering constructive dialogue and inclusivity, rather than engaging in divisive politics.

That allegation against him is very heavy and will have political consequences.

Is it that he's got no team of political advisers to guide him on how to handle political landmines like this? He should have demanded that FG goes ahead with the project with a human face and ensure that none of the ongoing road projects suffer.

Asking FG to discontinue projects that didn't pass through your tribal geopolitical zone and one of those perceived to have backed you in the last election will suffer from FG's repossession of its land he encroached upon is already tainted with suspicion that he is bitter about the progress of others and looks like a needless political suicide he committed by demanding the project stops.

Those who are beneficiaries of the project are far more and they'll feel deprived just by the thought of electing him. They will be afraid that he will suspend the project!
