Presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has stated that “politics is not war” after attending the declaration ceremony of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
WuzupNigeria reported that Atiku officially declared his interest in the presidency of Nigeria ahead of the 2023 general elections on Wednesday.
However, the presence of Obi, who was his running mate in the 2019 general elections, at Wednesday’s event raised suspicion.
But when asked why he was at the event during an interview on Channels Television, given he was eyeing the same position, Obi said, “This is a new politics. I play politics differently. For me, politics is not a war. It’s a relationship.
“Atiku is my leader, my boss and a senior brother. If he invites me for anything I will attend.
“Aspiring (for the presidency), does not say I should not keep my relationships very cordial.
“I’m aspiring. Remember, I always say it, Atiku is a unifier. He believes in Nigeria. He’s a good man. And anytime he invites me for anything, I will be there.”
