An Igbo group under the umbrella of Omalegwuoku Progressive Initiative (OPI)/Igbo Kwenu for Asiwaju Tinubu, has slammed Peter Obi for calling out President Bola Tinubu over an alleged certificate forgery.
According to the global President of the Group, Ginika Tor expressed her disappointment in Peter Obi for calling out Tinubu, to clarify his state of origin and educational qualifications for Nigerians.
NEWSTODAYNG recalled that Peter Obi on wednesday had called out Tinubu in a Press Conference in Abuja, to clarify his identity.
While she described his action as an insult to the country, she urged her Igbo brothers not to be misled by his speech.
According to Tor: “I had already put up my speech and suddenly I realised that my brother whom I respect so much, Peter Obi, who is also the presidential candidate of the Labour party, came up on ARISE TV to say that our president, a man that is the number one man in this country should come out and explain his state.
“So by now, a man who served 8 years as a governor, you don’t know his state? Should tell us his background educationally, is that right?
“It is an insult to Nigeria as a nation. For you to call out our president who was massively supported, elected, confirmed and validated as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to come and stand before who? To say he’s from this state, from this country, from this region, from this locality. Does he owe us that? What the President owe us now is to take us to our destination of choice.
“So, I am disappointed in a man that I respected so much, my brother, who stood in front to run for Igbos. It may not be his turn now, but it could come in future. But whatever he does now is going to play out in the future. So let us be cautious and let all Igbos not be misled by this press interview that our brother granted ARISE.
“We are telling our brother, Obi, calm down, if God wanted you to be there, He would have made you the President. He did not. There is a lot of distraction on this President, are you not bothered with the issues of the world?…”
