The Presidential Candidate Of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has responded to allegations of ethno-religious bigotry against him by Senator Chimaroke Nnamani.

Nnamani, had in a statement on Monday accused Obi of whipping up ethnic and religious sentiments in his quest to win the presidency.

The ex-Enugu State Governor accused Obi of exploiting the nation’s fault lines to advance his personal cause.

Nnamani, who lost his re-election bid to a candidate of the Labour Party last Saturday, accused Obi of other sundry infractions.

In response, Obi in a letter addressed to Nnamani, a known acolyte of the President-Elect, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, said, the Enugu Senator must have mistaken him for someone else because the facts on ground do neither support nor justify his claims.

Obi’s letter read: “Throughout these electioneering campaigns, you have consistently cast aspersions on my person, despite my always being respectful to you as an elder brother, and never publicly or privately commenting negatively about you.

“I am really surprised that you as my dear elder brother would go out of the way in the exercise of his fundamental rights of freedom of speech and expression as enshrined in our law to go into saying what he knows is not true.

“I find it very shocking that you had to label me as an ethnic and religious bigot and as one who indulges in a campaign of hatred.

“In this instance, I like to state unequivocally that I am the direct opposite of what you said in your statement and what my campaigns have been.

“I want to believe that my dear elder brother must have mistaken me for someone else because, in this campaign, I have consistently championed issues-based campaigns, and maintained so, even using illustrations and data to buttress my position, to the extent that I have been accused of using data wrongly and media houses had to create fact check desks just to monitor and address issues I raised during campaigns.

“I have been on record to have insisted severally throughout the country that I should not be voted for based on any ethnic or religious link, but to be considered based on Character, Character, Capacity, and Compassion. I have always respectfully requested that my track records & integrity be verified.

“I will also like to challenge anybody including, my dear elder brother to show anywhere in my public appearance where I in any way portrayed ethnic, or religious bigotry or where I called names, even when I came to campaign in Enugu State.

“I was also taken aback at your attributing the “Lagos is no man’s land” statement to Igbos because there is no evidence of that which I see as a case of giving a dog a bad name just to hang it.

“Maybe my brother would like to know that I got more votes from non-Igbos in Lagos, Abuja, & other parts of Nigeria, and even if Igbos voted for me should it be the reason why they should be chased away from where they are living and making tangible contributions to development?.

“Britain will not send Indians packing because they voted for an Indian to become the Prime Minister.

“I also noticed the spirited efforts you put up to tag me a tribal bigot but such would be hard to prove empirically and I would like to advise my dear elder brother not to join in such senseless and unsubstantiated allegations just to dent one’s image.

“As I very much know that among the critical characteristics of every good leader are listening, and learning and my brother advised that I should return to school to learn some aspects of leadership I am lacking.

“Why should I go to school to pay huge fees when I can get it free of charge from my dear elder brother who knows it better? I respectfully appeal that I be invited by my Senior brother to teach me accordingly.

“My warmest regards to the family and God bless.

God bless Peter Gregory obi.

I ask again, I'm I am omo ale like GRV because my mom is ibo from imo state and my dad is from ile-ife.
The ibo name my mom gave me is emeka.

The old war horses are angry and foaming because a structureless movement collapsed and permanently retired many heavy weights nation wide in the political scene.

They are more afraid now due to fear of an overturn and a return of the presidential mandate to the rightful winners.

They are throwing useless sentiments to divide the people and continue to trade their destines with peanuts and puff puff.

The road to recovery of the stolen mandate has officially begun. All hands must be on deck.

When last did you attend church since 25 February 2023?

Are the churches still taking back their country? Even your overgrown puppies have been trying hard to explain why you chose the religious and ethnic path as a campaign tool.

OBIdients means one thing " those who believe in the political ideology of His Excellency Peter Obi"... Just like the Rastafarians believe in Ras Tafari, that's Haile Selessaie, former emperor of Ethiopia.

I don't know why people are attaching Obidients to every dick tom and harry running under Labour party. Let me tell you many criminals and opportunists were also running on Labour Party platform across many states...we know them
This explains why many people were at home yesterday. Peter Obi was not on the ballot...had it been he was on the ballot...we would have given him millions of votes than the one we gave him on 25th February.


Peace✌️

My dear elder brother

Chi boy is a sellout

OBi did same.. but with respect.. yes he gave Atiku maximum even in the face of disobedient obidients

Obi and his supporters have used their selfish interest to scuttle the closest chance of Igbo presidency in Nigeria

Obi has destroyed labour party. Bigotry, lie , falsehood, intimidation, propaganda and blackmail has now become the order of the day.

Chimaroke Nnamani former Enugu state Governor, head boy class of 99', the governor that turned the state university Esut to war college, all the governors of Enugu since 2007 has always been his boys, all of a sudden is having a melt down because he was voted out of office.

As the head boy of class of 99' which has the following Eastern governors, Orji Uzo Kalu, Chinwoke Mbadinuju, Achike Udenwa and Sam Egwu, Chimaroke and the first 2 were brazenly corrupt. While Orji Uzor had his bouts in Kuje prisons only to be released on technical grounds, Chimaroke Nnamani's companies were seized by Efcc because he stole Enugu state money.

I think the Eastners have woken up, we rather elect honest people into positions of authority than to be represented by proven kleptomanics. If all the Eastern Governors, Senators and Reps, use the various monies at their disposal for development, things will improve drastically. Good riddance to bad representation Mr "Senate President".

Obi is a perpetual liar. Nnamani is right. See the clip where he used religion card below.

The fake WhatsApp message he read about moving port from Lagos, is that not ethnic bigotry?

Deportation of northerners from Anambra, is that not bigotry?

Nnamani has been recruited by APC PCC to spread lies and lead a propaganda campaign of calumny and lies against Peter Obi, accusing him of bigotry, inorder to force the west to drop their plans to install Peter Obi as president via the courts.
All their efforts to get lobbyist firms in the US to voice their case before the White house and Capitol Hill have failed to bear fruit. Unfortunately for them, they have no influence in the white house, and very little on Capitol Hill.

Doctored indeed.
Why didn't he or his media aides debunk this?

Did he deport northerners or not ?

In 2015, Igbos don't have any senator
2019 Igbos don't have ranking senator
2023 It must be chimaroke
SP is a personal position
Doesn't add anything to people
Besides SE had 5 SP in the past.
