The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has dismissed claims that he described the Supreme Court ruling recognizing Martins Amaewhule as the Speaker of the State House of Assembly as reckless.
In a post on X, Obi stated that such allegations against him are false and should be disregarded.
“My attention has been drawn to a news report saying that I described the Supreme Court ruling on Rivers State as reckless.
“The statement I made from which the report was drawn is on the general terms of the attitude of the political elites in the face of deepening poverty in the land,” he wrote.
The former governor of Anambra State said that he never made any direct comments of ’recklessness’ on the Supreme Court’s decision.
He said, “There’s nowhere I made direct remarks on the Supreme Court ruling as reckless.
“Even if a ruling of the apex court is not agreeable to me, I cannot describe it as reckless.
“I find it very necessary to give this clarification,” he added.
