Peter Obi Disavows Fake Letter Seeking Onitsha Ruler's Help
Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has publicly disowned a letter dated September 19, 2026, which falsely claimed he was seeking the intervention of Obi Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, the traditional ruler of Onitsha. The letter, titled “The Future of Ndigbo Is Bleak,” suggested that Obi was appealing for a forum involving respected Igbo traditional rulers and stakeholders to address a disagreement with the current Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, regarding the handover note from when Obi left office on March 17, 2014.
Obi's media aide, Dr. Valentine Obienyem, confirmed that the letter attributed to Obi is “fake,” emphasizing that it does not represent Obi's views or intentions.
