@SAMKLEF eter Obi no dey carry person for mind. Him still go visit wike. Nice move.
@FrUgochukwu Politics aside, Peter Obi is preaching to all of us with his life & actions. I listened to his response when asked about Fr Mbaka’s statement & now seeing him with Wike after Wike’s comments. We’ve a lot to learn from Peter Obi not just in the area of governance but about life.
@VictorIsrael_ Doing the Primaries, Wike said nasty things about @PeterObi. He never responded, instead he said good things about Wike and went ahead to visit Wike in Port Harcourt. Peter Obi is the Unifier Atiku thinks he is. May we never lose this golden opportunity to have a normal President
@Sports_Doctor2 If you’re looking for a “Unifier”, it’s Peter Obi, after everything Wike did to him and said about him both on national TV and in his state, Anambra, Peter Obi has gone to visit him in Port Harcourt. PETER OBI IS RARE!!!
