Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central, has warned that any Igbo person campaigning against Peter Obi’s presidential ambition is working against the interests of the entire Igbo community.
Umeh, a member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), described the former Anambra State governor as the voice and conscience of the Igbo people ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a video circulating on Monday, the senator widely known as Ohamadike urged South-East residents to unite behind Obi’s presidential bid, while cautioning political leaders in the region, particularly the Anambra State Government, against taking actions that could undermine Obi’s campaign.
“I’m an Igbo activist; you people know me, and you hear my voice in the Senate on all issues of national importance. Peter is our conscience in this election. Any Igbo man who stands up to say we will not vote for Peter Obi, I’m telling you that he’s an enemy of the Igbo people,” Umeh said.
