Penpushing reports that Obi was reacting to comments credited to Minister of Information and Culture, Ahaji Lai Mohammed who at a function in United States of America (USA) levelled a treason allegation against him and his Deputy at the recently concluded general elections.
“In the past few days, I have observed various campaigns of calumny directed at my person, with the latest being allegations attributed to the Information Minister, Lai Mohammed from Washington DC’, Obi stated.
“It is most unfortunate that these consistent efforts to portray me quite contrary to what I am, and my core values, are coming from such high quarters. Minister Lai accusing me of stoking insurrection is totally malicious and fictitious”, he said
Penpushing further reports that Obi who on Tuesday took to Twitter, a microblogging site, explained that he has never discussed or encouraged anyone to undermine the Nigeria state,nor sponsored or preached any action against the country
“I have never discussed or encouraged anyone to undermine the Nigerian state; I have never sponsored or preached any action against the Nigerian state. Those initiating these actions have increasingly used their official positions and agents to make false allegations against me”, Obi added
