Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi is very angry and has bared his mind.

Obi who recalled how the Anambra House of Assembly impeached him as the governor on November 2, 2006 stated that the court reinstated him in February 2007 after he challenged the impeachment.

He said: “The then President Olusegun Obasanjo dispatched a delegation in an attempt to halt my impeachment. Nigeria’s democracy which has been progressing since 1999 is now being knocked down by the current administration.”

“Some people came and knocked everything down. That is the situation we are in now. Everything has been knocked down. Nothing works. I became a governor through the court when President Obasanjo and Atiku were in government.”

“I did not pay the court one naira. I was sitting in my office, and the court declared me the winner. It can’t happen in Nigeria today.”

“When I was being impeached, the president sent people to come and intervene on my behalf. Ken Nnamani came, begging the house (house of assembly) not to impeach me. Today, the president (Tinubu) is impeaching a person (Fubara).”

Peter Obi made the statement recently at the 60th birthday anniversary colloquium of Emeka Ihedioha, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.
