The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has slammed Peter Obi over a doctors’ strike in Anambra State, alleging that the former governor responded to the prolonged industrial action by saying, “Luckily, nobody died.”
Sowore made the allegation in a post on X, claiming he confronted Obi during the Nigerian Bar Association’s annual general conference in Port Harcourt over a strike that reportedly lasted more than a year.
According to Sowore, Obi acknowledged the strike but made the remark, which he described as “the most callous statement I have ever heard from anyone.”
Sowore also accused the former Anambra governor of being “anti-healthcare,” alleging that he failed to provide healthcare centres at the local government and ward levels while in office.
He ended the post with another criticism of Obi, writing, “Mr. Lamba can’t make heaven!”
