Omoyele Sowore, a self-styled human rights activist, has denied being obsessed with Peter Obi as widely claimed by his critics.
Sowore made the clarification during an X space session titled “MIC ON PODCAST,” which was closely followed by Parallel Facts.
Sowore stated, “If not for me, Peter Obi wouldn’t have become candidate of Labour Party. I was the one that provided the document that was used by Femi Falana (SAN) to get Peter Obi a spot in the Labour Party. And is not the first time I helped Peter Obi.”
He further added, “When he was governor, Obasanjo then wanted to remove him; I helped using Sahara Reporters to help expose all the plots against him. How would I be obsessed about a candidate I know he is going to end up the way he ended.”

“I don’t wish for a movement that is not real. If they were real, why is it that when they were cheated, they couldn’t raise a finger? Some OBIdients were able to scare a lot of people, especially on social media. Some people were afraid of them, but I was never afraid of them because I spoke my mind about Peter Obi regardless of what they did to me.”
“I have never wished to be anybody but myself. What would I gain from being Peter Obi? Nothing. If I were Peter Obi, I would have been cheated out of the election, just as he claimed that he was cheated,” he stated.
