Miyetti Allah: Obi destroyed northerners’ businesses, we won’t support him in 2023

The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, also known as Miyetti Allah, has accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, of destroying northerners’ businesses while he was the governor of Anambra State.

The Miyetti Allah, however, said it has instructed all Fulanis in the country to reject Obi ahead of the 2023 general election.

The National Secretary-General of the group, Saleh Ahassan, who made this known on Saturday, noted that Obi should not be considered as an option in presidential contest.

Ahassan said Obi remains an ethnic candidate who represents Biafran succession.

“As far as we are concerned, we know those we cannot vote for. You see that they call Obi or OBIdient, any Fulani man who votes for him must be questioned because he may not be a true son of the soil.

“Obi represents the Biafran interest. So, we know those we cannot vote for and those that cannot be president of Nigeria. He is a tribal bigot.

“Destroyed the businesses of northerners and chased plenty Hausa and Fulani people from entering Anambra,” the Miyetti Allah Secretary-General said.

Reacting, the spokesperson of Peter Obi Support Network, Jones Onwuasoanya, said the former governor is a nationalist whose interest is only with Nigerians.

Onwuasoanya stated that “Obi believes in ‘One Nigeria’ and is irreversibly committed to the One Nigeria dream and to making Nigeria a successful nation.”
