Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has come out to clarify after a “news report saying that I described the Supreme Court ruling on Rivers State as reckless.”
Obi said, “the statement I made from which the report was drawn is on the general terms of the attitude of the political elites in the face of deepening poverty in the land”, adding, “there’s nowhere I made direct remarks on the Supreme Court ruling as reckless”.
According to Obi: “My attention has been drawn to a news report saying that I described the Supreme Court ruling on Rivers State as reckless. The statement I made from which the report was drawn is on the general terms of the attitude of the political elites in the face of deepening poverty in the land.
“There’s nowhere I made direct remarks on the Supreme Court ruling as reckless. Even if a ruling of the apex court is not agreeable to me, I cannot describe it as reckless.
“I find it very necessary to give this clarification.”
