“He fed our people with the sacred apple and Nigeria may never be the same again.”

He further described the whole situation as a replica of what Obi did as governor of Anambra state.

According to Vanguard, the senator said:

Recall that Legit.ng had earlier reported that Obi and Senator Nnamani traded words after the latter accused the former of ethnoreligious incitements.

Obi, who countered the allegations, said:

"I find it very shocking that you had to label me as an ethnic and religious bigot and as one who indulges in a campaign of ethnic hatred.

"In this instance, I like to state unequivocally that I am the direct opposite of what you said in your statement and what my campaigns have been.”

Nnamani, a current senator, defeated by the Labour Party candidate in the February 25 national assembly election, described Ayu as an evil that befell the PDP.

According to the expelled PDP chieftain, the reign of Ayu brought misfortunes to the party following its poor outing in the last general elections.
