Obi is alive, kindly verify. If it is not true, let Obi publicly say that I am lying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObi and I left the PDP because we both agreed and believed that the next President must be a Southerner, preferably an Igbo man from the South-East.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, we lost that election. Another Southerner, Bola Tinubu, won the election. This is God\u2019s will. He gives power to whom He wishes. My political commitment and agreement with Obi ended and expired there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am too experienced in this game of politics for my subsequent political disposition and destiny to be tied to Obi\u2019s ambition. Impossible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, that cooperation ended with the Supreme Court judgment, right or wrong. There must be order in a society.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To me, the allegations of rigging do not hold water. All elections in Nigeria from the 1st Republic to date have been rigged in one way or another, except perhaps Abiola\u2019s election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In America today, the majority of Republicans believe the election that brought Biden in as POTUS was rigged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, the Americans did not bring down their country because of that.
