2027: Peter Obi Never Begged Amaechi To Step Down – Umeh by SlavaUkraini(op): 10:04am On Apr 21
Anambra Central Senator, Victor Umeh, says former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, never begged former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to step down for him ahead of the 2027 general elections.


Umeh made the clarification on Monday when he featured in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.

He was speaking on the speculation that Obi’s visit to Amaechi was to beg the ex-Rivers state governor to step down for him.

The lawmaker said, “Obi’s visit to Amaechi was a noble one with good intention. You have to talk to your opponent.

“Saying Peter Obi went to beg Amaechi to step down for him is very condescending. Obi is not someone who will beg you for what he wants, Amaechi knows that.”

DAILY POST reports that both Obi and Amaechi are in the same African Democratic Congress, ADC, and are presidential hopeful of the party in the next year’s general elections.

I think we have to hear from them independently as you already said they are presidential hopefuls.

My thoughts tho!

When I first saw the news I laughed, I only knew it would emanate from the camp of those that asked their senate members to cause confusion

I dare you to show a video or audio evidence of Obi begging Amaechi to step down for him.
May God help. Keep defending your APC blindly and may APC befall you

I know you're talking about the fact that he's gon outspend PO in the primary election and that's something every sane person know. But in a general election,with PO and amaechi against each other in different parties,I doubt if Amaechi can ever stand a chance.

Amaechi just managed to see them off to his exit front door, not even to their cars. Amaechi was indirectly telling them to please leave as he hurriedly shook their hands.🤣

Amaechi is wasting his time. Anybody is free to contest.

These politicians no get sense! What is the big deal if Obi ask Amaechi to step down for him? Is that not part of politics?

What is this one saying? Do you even understand the article? How is Amaechi wasting his time when he was the one insisting that everybody must participate in the primaries, anybody is free to contest.

Demented Peter Obi is a pathological liar. He keeps running around in circles like a headless chicken.

Re: 2027: Peter Obi Never Begged Amaechi To Step Down – Umeh by Judolisco(m): 3:34pm On Apr 21
Obi won't beg arbi.. Don't worry... Ameachi will support people who can beg.... Instead of him to stay with wike then and fight Atiku... He ran away... Now he is looking for people who will ask Atiku not to Run.... Is it not d same thing now?
Re: 2027: Peter Obi Never Begged Amaechi To Step Down – Umeh by gigabyte13: 4:12pm On Apr 21
We know
He never begged
He can never ever beg
He went there to eat akpu and ofensala with him just like he had always done since 1960....
Re: 2027: Peter Obi Never Begged Amaechi To Step Down – Umeh by WhizdomXX(m): 4:24pm On Apr 21
To the polls above, Amaechi is stronger in primaries (vote-buying and negotiations); while Obi is stronger in general elections.

There has been speculations that Amaechi wants to contest as well. If that is the case, then he is wasting his time just like Atiku.

Your response and what you are saying don't make any sense. Atiku and Amaechi wants to contest and so? If he is winning or not is not the issue or my business or your business, everybody is free to contest that is the point. Stop the gibberish and meaningless comment.
