The Presidency has chided the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, for allegedly inflaming religious and ethnic issues to push his political ambition.
This was stated by a presidential aide, Mr Bayo Onanuga when he was hosted by Seun Okinbaloye on a live podcast, ‘Mic On’.
According to Onanuga, “What I know about the campaign of Obi was that for the first time in a very long while in our country, we had a candidate who was inflaming ethnic passions. And that was the way the election went at that time.

“That is what he did. And those things were dangerous to our Nigerian politics.”
