Activist Nwabueze Urges Obi to Combat Political Attacks
Martin Nwabueze, an Anambra state-born activist based in the United States and co-founder of Tilova 4 Africa, called on Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, to defend himself against political attacks. Nwabueze's comments came in response to debt allegations raised by Prof. Chukwuma Soludo against Obi during his tenure as governor of Anambra state.
He criticized Obi for referring to Soludo as a "senior brother," arguing that such language reflects weakness and undermines Obi's political capital. Nwabueze stated that Obi's passive approach to blackmail and smear campaigns is inviting further attacks, suggesting that he should confront his adversaries directly.
He emphasized that politics is played in the court of public opinion, and Obi must demonstrate courage and vibrancy to maintain the support he has garnered from Nigerians.
