The media office of Labour Party (LP) presidential
candidate, Peter Obi has advised Nigerians to ignore the rants of Dino Melaye.
The former lawmaker had declared that the ex-Anambra
governor cannot be President in 2023 because it’s not his time yet.
In reply, Obi’s camp called Melaye, “the attack dog” of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar.
A statement made available to DAILY POST on Monday noted
that the politician had nothing to say but to keep attacking “the man of the
hour”.
“No matter the quantum of untruths and falsity the attack
dogs of the other candidates dish out, Peter Obi will never respond to them.
“Obi is not in the competition with them but with their
Principals. He is issue-driven in his journey to Aso Rock to serve the people
and rescue the country,” it said.
The office told citizens that Obi has many useful things to
say and cannot waste time on “rabble rousers” who do not appreciate the
enormity of the country’s challenges.
The statement noted that the LP candidate is at the service
of Nigerian youths who are committed to this project and would not want
distractions.
It said above all, his hard earned outstanding credentials
and reputations “are such that he cannot climb down so low to join them in the
gutter”.
“For those who call the ‘Obidient’ media office seeking
Obi’s response to Dino’s needless attacks on him, these are the reasons. If you
join a mad man in a fight in the marketplace, you could be mistaken for one”,
it added.
