Plot to blackmail Peter Obi

“We are aware that some persons operating under the guise of civil society, and non-governmental organizations, but acting at the behest of some powerful political interests, have been deployed to petition and accuse Obi of playing religious politics.

He alleged that they aim to defame the former Anambra state governor for supporting underprivileged Nigerians.

“The aim is to malign Mr Obi’s purely altruistic motives in supporting underprivileged Nigerians of all faiths. The ploy is to erroneously claim that he goes to religious places to carry out political campaigns off-season.”

Obi’s aide denies religious politics

Tanko noted that Obi understands that Nigeria is an undisputed secular state and the constitutional dictates of separation of church/mosque and state, The Nation reports.

He further stated that Obi would never be intimidated to change this personal disposition.

Obi’s charity work predates politics and “he believes is an assignment for him from his creator”.
