The southeast Mandate for Atiku/Obi Movement have released a statement accusing the All Progressives Congress of setting up the alleged freezing of Peter Obi’s account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The group said this in statement issued in Abakaliki by the national co-ordinator of the Igbo grassroot political movement for support, campaigns and installation of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of PDP as president and vice president in 2019, Comrade Timothy Nwankwo.
The statement read: “The people of Nigeria know Mr Peter Obi as a foremost unblemished and uncorrupted political leader in Nigeria.
“The jittery and frustrated subtle move of APC-led Federal Government to intimidate and dampen the courageous spirit of Mr Peter Obi will never achieve any positive result because Obi is not like Bola Tinubu, Chibuike Amaechi, Adams Oshiomhole or Nasir El Rufai.
“South East Mandate for Atiku/Obi Movement warn EFCC to immediately unfreeze the bank accounts of Mr Peter Obi or face unprecedented and massive protest against them. The more President Muhammed Buhari led APC federal government attacks Mr Peter Obi, the more Nigerian people are having sympathy for him.”
