Anambra Central Senator, Victor Umeh, says former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, never begged former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to step down for him ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Umeh made the clarification on Monday when he featured in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
He was speaking on the speculation that Obi’s visit to Amaechi was to beg the ex-Rivers state governor to step down for him.
The lawmaker said, “Obi’s visit to Amaechi was a noble one with good intention. You have to talk to your opponent.
“Saying Peter Obi went to beg Amaechi to step down for him is very condescending. Obi is not someone who will beg you for what he wants, Amaechi knows that.”
