"This includes intellectuals who did not show mercy to him while he reigned in Anambra as a pharisaic chief executive.
"It is like wearing a colour beneath another colour. Obi has become a shelter for both miscreants and activists of the crowd.”
The article had generated controversy as Obi’s supporters charged at Omatseye, who writes a weekly column for The Nation newspaper.
Call your supporters to order, Omatseye tells Obi
In a tweet on Tuesday, August 2, Omatseye asked Obi to call his supporters popularly known as Obidients to order, adding that the former Anambra governor should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
“Mr. Peter Obi, call your supporters to order. They are calling and issuing death threats. If anything happens to me, you will be held responsible!,” he tweeted.
Popular Nigerian pastor endorses Peter Obi
In another report, the presidential ambition of Obi was on Tuesday endorsed by the general overseer of the Omega Power Ministry (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere.
Apostle Chinyere's decision was made known after he and the LP's presidential candidate for 2023 were nominated for the Man of the Year award by Igbere TV.
The Christian cleric who described Obi as the Moses of Nigeria sent by God, actually stepped down for him as he sees him as fitting for the honour.
