“It is extremely unfortunate that these persistent efforts to portray me in a manner inconsistent with who I am and my core values are emanating from such prestigious quarters. “Minister Lai’s accusation that I stoke insurrection is completely malicious and false,” Obi stated.
He added, “I have never discussed or encouraged anyone to undermine the Nigerian state; I have never backed or advocated any action against the Nigerian state.” The initiators of these actions have increasingly utilised their official positions and agents to level false accusations against me.
