Peter Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, has clarified that his goodwill message to His Royal Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, was not meant to be disrespectful in any way.
Sharing his thoughts via his official X account on Sunday, Obi explained that he personally favors the phrase…
“my dear elder brother” when addressing individuals especially those close to him and for whom he has tremendous respect.
“I have read the concerns of those aggrieved by what they considered improper addressing.
“I respect protocol and authority, and I try, as much as possible, to adhere to them. However, those who follow me would have noticed that I often prefer to use the expression “my dear elder brother” when addressing individuals especially close to me and for whom I have tremendous respect.
“I always refer to His Royal Majesty Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha, as my very dear elder brother in the same affectionate manner.
“In matters of wrongdoing, motive is important. I assure all that my words were borne out of untrammelled goodwill,” he wrote.
