The former Anambra State Governor spoke after he was asked to react to the comments of Akpabio about his election.
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi has tackled Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
This comes after Akpabio made a comment about Obi, saying he didn't win the presidential election in Lagos and Ebonyi States.
Akpabio had claimed that the election was rigged in those places.
He said, “INEC must explain to us how you [Tinubu] would lose the election in Lagos during the presidential election. And Lagos was your base. In fact, one of the other explanations INEC will make to you is how you’ll win all the federal houses in Ebonyi States and we won the three Senate seats in Ebonyi State and they said you didn’t get 25 percent..”
Appearing on Parallel Fact, the former Anambra State Governor was asked to react to the comments of Akpabio about his election and Obi said he does not deal with uncommon people.
“The Senate President is an uncommon person, everything about him is uncommon. I don’t deal with uncommon people.
“I deal with common people…when uncommon people talk, common people keep quiet.
“I won the election not just in Lagos and Ebonyi, I won the elections in Nigeria. If not for Nigeria being an uncommon place we all know what happened,” Obi said.
