Supporters of presidential candidate Peter Obi have begun attacking Enugu-based Catholic priest Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka on social media for saying the former Anambra State governor cannot be Nigeria’s president because he is a stingy person.
“It is better to have a president who is a gifted old man than a stingy young man,” the cleric said about Obi on Wednesday at his ministry’s gathering in Enugu.
Mr Obi’s supporters say the attribute of stinginess assures them that Obi will not give bribes. Others have also posted photos of Obi donating funds to schools in the south-east to show Mbaka’s claims are false.
