Dino Melaye, who reacted to the outburst via his Twitter handle, described Obi’s action as unpresidential and unwarranted.

Dino Melaye cautioned Peter Obi against being angry at people in public gatherings next time.

He said: “I was sitting opposite where they’re sitting yesterday. I didn’t mention his name. I was really surprised to see that type of outburst from a presidential candidate. Is that the type of president he’s going to make? Just taking on people anyhow?

“He rather called me out. I didn’t call his name nor do anything. So that outburst is unwarranted, very unpresidential, unacceptable of a leader. A leader must be mature. One who wants to govern this country must be accommodating, must have a lot of patience and perseverance. These are basic characteristics of leadership anywhere in the world.

“You want to be president of Nigeria and you’re reacting such a manner in public. So I want to clear the air that there was nothing I did. He was so provoked and so carried away by the performance of Governor Okowa. Obi was so disorganized and disoriented.

“Next time when you want to go for a debate, be as calm as Okowa. That’s very unpresidential and I deserve an apology.”
