Peter Obi’s Aide, Obienyem Replies Onoh On Allegation Of Betraying Ojukwu. by AnambraPeople(op): 10:24pm On Aug 07, 2025
Peter Obi’s aide, Obienyem replies Onoh on Allegation of Betraying Ojukwu.


Mr. Valentine Obienyem, Media Adviser to Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has responded to recent comments by Dr. Josef Onoh, brother-in-law to the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who had questioned Obi’s political integrity and commitment to a one-term presidency.

Onoh had alleged that Obi reneged on a promise to Ojukwu, suggesting that Obi’s public stance on political issues does not align with his past actions.

Reacting in a statement made available to Vanguard, Obienyem dismissed the claims as inaccurate and politically motivated, calling on Onoh to specify any promises Obi failed to fulfill.

“It is inappropriate for Dr. Onoh to bring Ojukwu’s name into partisan political debate,” Obienyem said. “Mr. Obi treated Ojukwu with great respect, visiting him over ten times in a UK hospital.”

He recalled that Obi was among the first to be informed of Ojukwu’s passing, citing a message from Ojukwu’s wife, Bianca, as proof of his deep personal connection to the family.

“He returned to London that same morning, despite just arriving in Nigeria. He made those sacrifices out of genuine respect and concern,” he added.

Obienyem also referenced the high-profile burial organized for Ojukwu under Obi’s leadership, calling it one of the most dignified in Nigeria’s history.

He cautioned against what he described as “the indiscriminate use of revered Igbo names in political discourse,” urging politicians to uphold the legacies of national icons such as Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Dim Ojukwu.

“In other regions, prominent national figures are treated with reverence. It is disappointing when some local actors appear to undermine their own heroes,” Obienyem said.

Commenting on Dr. Onoh’s political positions, Obienyem noted that public discourse should be guided by principle, not opportunism.

“Political engagement should reflect consistency and respect for democratic ideals,” he stated, without further commenting on Onoh’s political trajectory.

Reaffirming Obi’s commitment to a one-term presidency, Obienyem said it reflects Obi’s leadership values and belief in equity.

“His pledge aligns with the principles of zoning and fair representation. It is well within constitutional provisions for a leader to voluntarily opt for a single term in service to national unity,” he explained.

Obienyem concluded by stating that Peter Obi’s political record speaks for itself and called for more constructive political dialogue moving forward.

Please, the Obidients should stop insulting Nigerians intelligent. What are you people taking Nigerians for by trying to force someone who failed as Anambra governor.

The first screenshot below, the guy who made that comment on this forum years back is not different from the writer. Those are the people who cursed Peter Obi all through his term due to bad governance but today, they are claiming he's the best for Nigeria

Peter Obi is so popular that even the president talks about him. After two wasted years, we are still hoping Tinubu can return Nigeria to where he met it.

Check the dates and compare them. Those comments against Obi were made in 2013 when he was completing his tenure, I have never seen any Governor that was hated that much by his people after eight years. Theodore Orji & Obi will be in same category.

He failed as Lagos governor, yet, as Yorubas pray to go to Heaven, your people pray to go to Lagos. Even when one of his boys Raji Fashola abducted several of you all under Lagos bridges and dumped you at Upper Iweka Bridge Head at 2AM, before 10 minutes, you have all jumped into Mallam Audu’s trailer carrying Cows from Yola through Onitsha to Lagos

And Tinubu that failed as governor of Lagos is what you people decided to make president, even a secondary school head boy by merit will find it hard to fail as governor of Lagos but Tinubu did...

Peter 0bi told Ojukwu he will never leave APGA, but the rob bish eventually left APGA. The rob bish is now claiming he will only serve for one term.

Peter 0bi will never become the president of Nigeria

See ipob thinking?. So criticizing ACN in 2011 means criticizing Tinubu as Governor?. Was Tinubu Governor under ACN?. Was he even criticizing the performance of Tinubu as Governor as the people of Anambra cussing the life out of Obi for his massive failures and incompetence 🤣

The same Daddy D.O is supporting Tinubu today with his full chest, are you saying he didn't know what he was doing then?

if that is what you claim then how are you sure he knows what he is doing now supporting Tinubu and besides he mentioned Tinubu's name all over the place or are you having a problem with reading and comprehension? grin

You should have asked your fellow ipob who now packaging Obi as una messiah.. if D.O was saying what he said when Tinubu was Governor and was cussing him out like ipob did to Obi as Governor, maybe I would have found it difficult to understand.

Are you trying to say that it is only when a person is in power he should be criticized ?

if so why are you criticizing Peter Obi who is not in office now ?

And if so again, Tinubu is currently in office and he is a failure, so you should stop disturbing Peter Obi as you have refused to disturb Tinubu's governance as a failure in Lagos.

Let's talk about Tinubu who is currently in office since you only accept criticism when a person is in power grin
