Former National Treasurer of the Labour Party (LP), Oluchi Oparah, has strongly rejected claims that Peter Obi would renege on a pledge to serve only one four-year term if elected president, calling such assertions “a lie from the pit of hell.”
Oparah argued that Obi’s record in public office clearly reflects a deep commitment to keeping his word and upholding political integrity.
She pointed to his tenure as Governor of Anambra State, recalling his personal promise to the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), never to transfer the party’s mandate to another political platform.
“Mr. Obi is a man of integrity. He promised the late Odumegwu Ojukwu that he would never hand over the APGA mandate to another party,” Oparah stated.
According to her, Obi honored that vow throughout his two terms in office despite mounting political pressure to defect.
“At that time, he was the only governor who spent eight years in office as an opposition figure,” she noted, emphasizing that he never abandoned the party that brought him to power.
