Yet, the gathering in a proclamation endorsed by its Chairman, Alhajji Mohammed Isa Jalo and the Women Coordinator, Hajiya Jamila Ibrahim, expressed in opposition to the claim, its individuals have lived calmly in the state for over forty years.
As per the assertion, “our consideration has been attracted to a purposeful, vindictive mission of backbiting against the official up-and-comer of Labor Party, Mr Peter Obi, by certain lawmakers who have moved away from main problems for their mission, erroneously charging that Mr Peter Obi had hostile to north stands when he was legislative leader of Anambra State.
“We are amazed that this unwarranted charge and malignant case have gone a few stages further and came about to name dropping regardless of a few rejoinders by entirely tenable Nigerians on a similar topic.
“We wish to state here completely that as Northerners who have been living here in Anambra State for more than 20 years, His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, didn’t destroy mosques and never sent our Muslim siblings out of Anambra State during his residency as the lead representative.
“Without beating around the bush, we wish to say here that nothing can be more false and altogether wickedness like this charge.
“Our individuals have been living in Anambra State, before Peter Obi turned into the legislative head of the state and have stayed in the state till this second, doing their genuine organizations.
“Assuming we might ask, who Peter Obi sent away during his residency as the lead representative? Could the supporters of the manufactured demonstration at any point highlight them so that Nigerians might see?
“Actually his administration stays one of the most amicable legislatures toward the northerners and Hausa people group specifically, in the state.”
