Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo group, has said it is good that an attempt was made last week to arrest Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi at Heathrow Airport.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that Obi was interrogated about his identity on April 7 at Heathrow Airport in London.
Prof. Stella Okunna, a close associate who served under Obi as governor of Anambra State, revealed this in a Facebook post.
In response to the development, Ohanaeze stated that it was a good thing that the incident occurred because Obi’s enemies revealed their plan to the entire world.
They claimed that the attempted arrest was a political ploy by Obi’s adversaries.
According to them, certain individuals were attempting to embarrass the LP flag bearer as a result of his court case challenging the election victory of President-elect Bola Tinubu.
Ohanaeze said;
It is very unfortunate for those who want to rope in Obi and embarrass him. However, it was good it happened. After this, there will not be such a thing again anywhere in the world as they have been exposed.
They have exposed their plots to the whole world. But whoever is playing such is wasting time and energy.
It is very clear to the world that the man is a man of integrity and law abiding, who had been pursuing his mandate legally. So, any plot to rope him I and embarrass him will continue to fail. They are being exposed.
It is unfortunate that some Nigerians still want us back wards. But we will resist it, Nigerians will resist it, the youths will resist it because they want a future.
