Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife representing the Anambra Central district has humblly rejected a praise given to her when a supporter compared her quality and caliber to the former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi.

 
 

This came after a twitter user, Theo Abu claimed that former governor, Mr Peter Obi, despite being a one of the decent politicians in Anambra, south-east and Nigeria as a whole, can’t beat Senator Uche Ekwunife in a free, fair and credible election in the South-East.

 
 

He tweeted;

“Peter Obi can’t beat Senator Uche Ekwunife in a free, fair and credible election in the South-East. “This is practical politics and it does not care about your feelings. Politics is local”

 
 

Reacting to this, Senator Uche Ekwunife, the Senate Committee Chairman Science and Technology humbly rejected the comments of praise made by Theo.

 
 

She further described Peter Obi as her political leader and one of Nigeria’s most refined politicians.

 

 

She wrote in response;

“His Excellency, Mr. @PeterObi is one of Nigeria’s most refined politicians – Anambra’s number one export to the world. “He is my political leader. A leader with whom I am well pleased!”
