- Obi said government agencies now try to outdo themselves in impugning his character and reputation
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the last general election, Peter Obi, says his unrelenting quest for a better Nigeria has put him on a collision course with criminal elements in the Nigerian government.
Obi said government agencies now try to outdo themselves in impugning his character and reputation.
The former Anambra governor alleged that some agencies of the government are now organizing town hall meetings over his matter.
Obi, however, said the unpleasant development will not deter him from his quest for a better Nigeria.
Speaking on Friday in Canada while responding to questions about the last general election in Nigeria, Obi said many people would be shocked if they knew what he goes through every day
“If I tell people, and I say it every day what I go through, you will ask me why am I in this thing. You will ask me why am I still doing this; who do you still have to bother? But I’m in it. Every now and then you see various agencies of government, tools of government, even when I am not running any election, calling me names every day. They now organize town hall meetings just for me. No problem. It doesn’t bother me. Let’s keep doing what we were doing. We did well. And we should be proud of it and continue in that trajectory”.
Obi was in Canada for a “thank you” tour to appreciate Nigerians living in the country for the support offered him during the 2023 campaign/ general elections
