He accused Obi of oscillating among political parties, giving him out as an unstable and fairweather politician, desperate for selfish ends while posturing to be a man of the people, The Nation reported.

Bashing Obi further, Onoh said that the ghost of his treachery against Ojukwu has been hunting him, driving even the opposition LP led by Lamidi Apapa to issue a disclaimer and foreclose his future political career with the party, The New Telegraph report added.

Onoh said the reason Obi has been fighting like a Don Quixote was because of the eclipse of his political career, having been shut out by all his former political parties, such as the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the LP.
