Ohanaeze Lambasts Mahdi Shehu Over Attack On Peter Obi, Wants Him Confined

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has lambasted a Katsina-based activist, Mallam Mahdi Shehu, for using hate speech against Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential candidate and called for him to be confined away from fouling the atmosphere.

In a viral video in which he addressed a group of Northern elements, Mahdi stated that voting for Peter Obi would mean voting for Biafra, and that such votes would be synonymous with the destruction of the North.

Ohanaeze dismissed Mahdi’s claims as not only “disingenuous but out-rightly, distasteful, mischievous, provocative, incendiary and capable of igniting ethno-religious tensions across the country.” 

The video has received a lot of condemnation in the social media. Reacting to the video, the apex Igbo body, through its spokesman, Dr. Alex Chidozie Ogbonnia said: “The attention of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to a video clip that has gone viral, propagated by one Mallam Mahdi Shehu, a Katsina based activist, to the effect that a vote for Mr.

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 general election, is a vote for Biafra.

“In the video, he also alleged that a vote for Obi is synonymous with the destruction of the North. He asked his listeners what they stand to gain by voting Obi, a southerner, etc.
