Former Senate Minority Leader Enyinnaya Abaribe has criticised those linking Labour Party presidential flag bearer Peter Obi to the ongoing Biafra agitation.
Abaribe stated that such linkage was a smear campaign meant to de-market the former Anambra State Governor.
While speaking during a virtual town hall meeting organised by Ikengaonline, he emphasised that Peter Obi should be seen as someone pursuing his constitutionally-guaranteed rights.
Abaribe added that critics should stop linking Obi to his tribe and religion.
"It’s unfortunate that Peter Obi’s emergence which is now a silver lining has come with complications. Tinubu has a presidential ticket, nobody is saying it’s a Yoruba ticket.
"Atiku has a ticket, nobody is saying it’s a Fulani ticket. But Peter Obi got a ticket and everybody is shouting: ’It’s Igbo presidency. Some even try to link him with the Biafra agitation.
"Have they tried to associate Tinubu with the Oduduwa self-determination agitation? Or Atiku within the Fulani herdsmen menace or the banditry in the North?”
