She noted that she was a retired colonel with her pension and entitlements who did not seek or ask for financial help from the Labour Party presidential candidate.

She said:
"As a retired colonel, I have my pension and entitlements. I wasn't even asking for money my anger is that nobody reached out not even on single person came to the hospital at the FMC.
"I fought and campaigned for Obi for the youths and so that Nigeria can change. I have no need for anything, I am a British citizen and my children are all British citizens. I have nothing to loose or gain, I spent N5 million buying rice and a visiting people, women across the country."
How 74-year-old Chinyere Obi got shot
Madam Obi said the problem started when she tried to protect a Labour Party’s polling unit agent in her hometown, Ideato South Local Government Area in Imo state.
She noted that some unidentified political thugs had invaded the voting area during the election threatening the PU agent when she tried to intervene.
She said:
“The next I heard was pooh-pooh! It was gunshots on my leg. I am diabetic, this could have led to the amputation of my leg but nobody from Labour Party, not Aburi (referring to LP’s national chairman ) or even Peter Obi sent a word or visited.
“It was only two people who sent me from the Labour party.
"I regret, I curse the day I entered the Labour party. I was in PDP, and when Obi joined Labour Party, I followed him."
However, she urged President Bola Tinubu to intensify efforts to end insecurity in Nigeria, especially in the southeast region.
She stated that she was confident in the capacity of President Tinubu, and she was sure he would end the hardship in the country.
