The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has urged Nigerians to avoid peddling falsehoods,which are injurious to individuals, institutions and society at large – especially in this trying period of the nation’s development. He made this observation yesterday while interacting with some journalists in Lagos.

Contending that criticisms ought to be constructive at all times, Obi was reacting to the question about the truth of the   allegation that he called on Igbo to ignore Nnamdi Kanu, which led to Dr. Alex Ekwueme accusing him of anti-Igbo moves.

Clarifying issues, Obi noted that Ekwueme is a highly-respected elder statesman, who he regards as a father who offers advice or rebuke  if need be. He, however, regretted that at the occasion in question, neither he nor Ekwueme spoke during the event or to the press.
