The Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has challenged those who claimed that he is so desperate for power to investigate his past election that brought him in as the then governor of Anambra State and see if there was any traces of violence with him.
He made the the assertion in his official X account.
Obi said he has never been involved in violence or rigging of any kinds.
“I have never been desperate in the pursuit of power, or anything else, for that matter.
“There are some traits associated with desperation, which in no way are in any of my political behaviours in the past and now, like engaging in overly aggressive rhetoric or actions to prove a point or gain attention; becoming overly defensive or reactive to criticism, often to the point of appearing paranoid.
“Making unrealistic or unfulfillable promises to win support or approval, resorting to personal attacks or character assassination to discredit opponents or frequently changing positions or policies to suit immediate political needs.
“Throughout my political journey, I have never been involved in thuggery, the snatching of ballot boxes, or any form of electoral malpractice.
“I challenge anyone: conduct your investigations. You will find no stains of rigging or violence associated with my name,” Obi added.
