A political commentator has criticized Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi over remarks he reportedly made during an interview with Chude Jideonwo.
According to the commentator, Obi said that if the Minister of Works, David Umahi, wanted to debate him, he should first qualify as a presidential candidate.
Reacting to the statement, the commentator questioned Obi's own path to becoming a presidential candidate, arguing that he did not emerge through a conventional presidential primary process. The critic also described Umahi as a successful former governor and serving minister, suggesting he was qualified to engage in such political discussions.
The remarks have sparked debate online, with supporters of both politicians offering differing views on the issue.
