Reports that Nasir El-Rufai’s recent visit to Imo State was connected to its leader, Peter Obi, have been denied by the Obidient Movement in the state.

The organization claimed that Peter Obi was not even present at the event in a statement signed by Anukanti Vigilius Chukwuka, Coordinator, Obidient Movement, Imo State chapter.

Over the weekend, El Rufai traveled to Imo State to attend the Odenigbo Lecture, a yearly cultural and intellectual gathering hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of Owerri.

El-Eufai’s visit to Imo State has been associated with a lot of false impressions, according to the Obidient Movement.

The Movement further stated that it had seen stories that connected its leader to the visit, with some asserting that Obi was the one who sent the invitation to El-Rufai.

”The day preceding the public lecture an illustrious son of Imo State, Hon. Nnaemeka Madagwu, a former Speaker of Imo State Assembly during the reign of Achike Udenwa, hosted EL Rufai who was his boss and who appointed him Transport Secretary when El Rufai was the FCT Minister,” the group’s statement said.

“Peter Obi was not even at this year’s lecture even though he attended previous ones when he was Governor, but the mischief makers are everywhere dragging Obi’s name as the man who invited El Rufai.

“Obi honoured the invitation to the dinner in honour of El Rufai, his colleague in the Coalition, because he saw it as a good Igbo spirit of not forgetting our benefactors.

“Our Principal is desirous to create a new Nigeria, that is POssible, and is willing to do it with all well-meaning Nigerians.”
