“I Don’t Want The Politics Of Rascality” – Peter Obi Explains Why He Attends Rallies Of Rival Parties

• NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi has explained his opposition to what he described as the “politics of rascality” in Nigeria, recalling how he treated political opponents while serving as Anambra State governor.
• Obi said he attended the APM presidential inauguration because he does not believe in political hostility and recalled allowing rival politicians, including Fashola and Adams Oshiomhole, access to his convoy during campaigns.

NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi has spoken against what he described as the “politics of rascality” in Nigeria, recalling how he treated political opponents during his time as Anambra State governor.

Obi made the statement while explaining his decision to attend the APM presidential inauguration, despite belonging to a different political camp.

“I don’t want the politics of rascality that they play in Nigeria. That’s why you see me attending the APM presidential inauguration. When I was governor, during my second tenure, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu came to campaign for Uche Ekwunife. We had lunch together, and I told him that it is the people who will determine who they want. When Fashola and Adams Oshiomhole came to campaign for my opponents, I gave them my convoy.”

The former governor said his approach to politics was based on allowing Nigerians to make their own choices rather than treating political opponents as enemies.

His comments have generated reactions online, with supporters praising his approach while critics questioned some of his claims.

@kingkhone4real: PitObi don colo finally. Is this your own way of sounding tough? We all know you are indirectly working for Tinubu’s reelection.

@Foxyblueu: The ‘rascality politics’ is their default setting. That’s why common sense and integrity should always prevail.

@Pearlywhitegem: These men he mentioned are still alive and in Nigeria. Can they come out and tell Nigerians that Peter Obi is a liar?
