The endorsement of presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, by Igbo highest
decision making body, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has set Governor Willie Obiano of
Anambra State against the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia
Nwodo.
Nwodo alleged that Obiano, who
had vowed to deliver Anambra’s votes to President Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential
election, called him an idiot in a phone call.
Nwodo, who recounted the shocking
encounter of the incident, made through a phone call from the governor, which
is circulating in the social media, said he had decided to go public over the
matter “so that Igbo would know who is idiot among both of us.”
Nwodo said, “Your Excellency Gov
Obiano, I was surprised to receive a call from you a few minutes ago in which
you said the following words ‘Nnia, I didn’t know that you were so idiotic’.
“I am shocked that you can be so
insolent.
“I am sure that I was neither so
idiotic when I addressed your state assembly asking Ndi Anambra to disregard
IPOB’s boycott of your election nor was I idiotic when I pleaded with the
Commander-in-Chief to restore your security detail.
“History will judge who amongst
us is idiotic. If standing with the popular wish of Ndigbo makes me idiotic, I
am happy to be called an idiot.
“I will make this communication
public so that Igbo will know who is idiotic amongst both of us.”
Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to
Chief Nwodo on Media and Productivity, Chief Emeka Attamah, confirmed the
social media report.
In a communiqué after its
meeting, Ohanaeze had endorsed the candidacy of Atiku, and his running mate,
Mr. Peter Obi, of the PDP ahead of the in February 16 presidential election.
