And the reason for that is that I am confident they are aware of my integrity. I am not subject to the Labour Party’s constitution, so they cannot sue me.
In any case, I am a Nigerian first and a candidate second. Even if I was not running for office, Peter Obi would still have my support.
I do not fear anything. “Peter Obi’s ascent is timely; it has the power to change the political landscape. Furthermore, I am speaking as a regular Nigerian, not as a politician.
