Presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has responded to reports alleging that he is shielding the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
In an interview with Nevon News hosted by Rufai Oseni, the
former Anambra Governor said he openly criticises every wrong done in Nigeria,
including the South East.
During the interview, Rufai told Obi that his critics are
alleging that he does not criticise Kanu
Rufai said, ” Your critics allege that you don’t come out
openly to criticise whatever is done wrong by Nnamdi Kanu because he is from
your place.”
But Obi responded saying, “that is nonsense, absolute
nonsense. They don’t follow me because if you follow me, I criticise whatever
things that are wrong, whether in the East, North, or anywhere.
“But in criticising it, I keep saying that we should look at
it holistically”.
On whether Nnamdi Kanu has done anything wrong to deserve
his sentencing, Obi said “Nobody is perfect.”
According to him, “we all have the wrong side of us but I’m
saying that in building the future, we use the experiences of things we didn’t
do well to do it better.
“Every human being has done wrong things in the past,
whether it is Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho or Peter Obi, we have all done
something wrong.”
