The Global President of One Love Foundation, Chief Patrick Osagie Eholor has lambasted PDP presidential aspirant, Mr. Peter Obi for associating with corrupt politicians ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Eholor in a facebook post on One Love Foundation’s page slammed Obi for failing to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Civil Society Groups to push his presidential ambition.
Obi was spotted at the residence of the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion while on a consultation visit to Edo State.
Lucky Igbinedion, a former governor of Edo State is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Eholor, while reacting to Obi’s visit wrote, “In as much as everyone got freedom to associate with whom ever they wants to associate with, but then a person in higher position or whom everyone is looking upon must not abuse that right.
“A person like Peter Obi should know that there are levels and categories at which one must extend friendship to.
“Peter Obi whom the CSO and myself have wanted to support, because there is honour among thieves he (Peter Obi) came to Edo State and didn’t deem it fit to visit any of his support groups but rather went to the house of some so called leaders, the man who had been alleged of 1.6 billionaire fraud by EFCC and convicted on plead bargain
“It only in Nigeria that criminals are rewarded with chieftaincy titles, only in Nigeria that corrupt office holders are given another year to rule. Only in Nigeria the old will do anything by all means to eliminate young people from ruling.
“Democracy is not hereditary, so therefore we cannot be looking some set of person superior and others inferior. Taking a look, most glorified superior are nothing but a common set of looters.
“I am saying this as a direct message to Peter Obi, just to let him know that he has betrayed us and as the adage goes “If you do not trust the messenger then the message cannot be trusted” it is on this ground that Peter Obi action has proven negative and we can not continue to support him. It high time we start identifying them one by one and withdraw our support from them.
“We don’t respect people who stole our common matrimony. We don’t worship them or reward them with chieftaincy title anymore.
“I Chief Patrick Osagie Eholor otherwise known as Ultimate Equal, President One love Foundation has Spoken!,” he said.
