A chieftain of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Victor Umeh, says people are against former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, because he does not like transactional politics.
Umeh made this remark on Thursday in an interview programme on Trust TV.
He also warned a former Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo, to steer clear of raining curses on the ex-Anambra state governor.
“Kenneth Okonkwo was busy raining curses on Peter Obi. I had private discussions with him and warned him not to do what he is currently doing, because he would regret it. But he said he would never work with Peter Obi again, that it’s over his dead body.
“Well, Peter Obi is a different kind of politician. I have worked with him for years, and he will never give you money to vote for him.
“Peter Obi has said he will never engage in transactional politics or use money to buy positions to serve the people. That’s why they’re against him,” Umeh said.
