FORMER governor of Enugu state, Chimaroke Nnamani, has faulted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, describing his style of politics as “dangerous” for the unity of the country.

Nnamani, accusing Obi of reigniting religious and ethnic politics in Nigeria, feared the country might never be the same again following the tension that preceded and has followed the February 25 presidential election.

Taking stock of the activities of the just concluded elections, Nnamani,  in a statement he issued today in Abuja, said, ”Obi has deflowered the virgin innocence of political patriotism and nationalism in Nigeria.”

Nnamani added, ”He served a poisoned chalice of tribalism to Nigeria’s ethnic nationalities. The Roman Catholic holy family symbol was now ecumenically explained to my people as Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, thus replacing the Labour Party logo of father, mother, and child. Dual indoctrination or religion and tribalism. Nigerians voting without knowing the candidates nor caring.”

Obi had in a letter he recently issued asked Nnamani to stop bigotry allegations aimed at denting his image.

He stated that throughout his campaign across the country, he was never involved in religious or ethnic politics.

However, a leaked audio conversation allegedly between Peter Obi and the founder of Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), David Oyedepo, has been trending online, where Obi was heard allegedly telling Oyedepo to help him get votes from Christians in the South West for the presidential election.
