The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has asked former Anambra State governor Senator Chimaroke Nnamani to stop "senseless and unsubstantiated" bigotry allegations to dent his image. Nnamani, who lost his Senate bid to the Labour Party’s candidate, Kelvin Chukwu, on Sunday, accused Obi of playing wicked and dangerous politics.
“Peter “Gringory” Obi has set the Igbo political trajectory 24 years back. He has become a twin blight and scourge on the land,” Nnamani alleged. Obi, in a letter to the former governor of Enugu State on Tuesday, said he finds it shocking that Nnamani had to label him as a religious bigot and one who indulges in a campaign of hatred.
Obi, a former Anambra governor, said he believes that Nnamani must have mistaken him for someone else because, and insisted that he ran an issue-based campaign.
