Peter Obi Would Have Considered A Career In Evangelism Instead Of Politics – Arise Tv Reporter Abati Drags LP Candidate

The 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has come under fire from veteran Nigerian journalist Reuben Abati for his press conference on Wednesday in Abuja.

Abati asserted that Obi’s conference was unnecessary and pointless, and that the LP candidate ought to stop moralizing about issues.

According to Naija News, during his press conference on Wednesday, Obi urged President Bola Tinubu to reintroduce himself to Nigerians and tell the truth about his name, identity, academic background, and other details.

However, Abati criticized Obi on Thursday during the Morning Show on Arise TV, telling the LP candidate to stop vying for unwarranted media coverage.

The former governor of Anambra State is campaigning after the election, in Abati’s opinion, and Obi should be aware that the Supreme Court is already hearing the case and should be given time to complete its work.

He said: “When I saw the press conference by Mr. Peter Obi yesterday, I felt it was needless. If Mr Peter Obi is considering a career in evangelism, there are many people who have gone from other careers into evangelism, but within the framework of the electoral process, what he (Obi) did yesterday, he (Obi) is just seeking the media attention, looking for publicity.

“Why do I say so, the electoral process is effectively in process, if you as a principal member of the process have any grievances, the best place to go to is the court of law, and which is what Atiku Abubakar has done, the presidential candidate of the PDP. The last time Waziri had a press conference he came out and said he wanted the candidate of NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Mr Peter Obi to join him, the Labour Party released a statement and said they were not part of it. Ok, is it that now, the Labour Party has changed its mind?.”

Abati added that the response given to Obi by the APC publicity secretary, Felix Morka over the press conference is totally in place.
