Why enemies, critics of Peter Obi should acknowledge his global influence  – Dele Momodu

Former presidential aspirant under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has called on critics and political opponents of Peter Obi to show him due respect, citing what he described as Obi’s impressive display of influence and character on the global stage.

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday, Momodu commended the former Labour Party presidential candidate for his presence at a high-profile event that also featured Cardinal Francis Arinze, a prominent Nigerian cleric and one-time papal contender.

He wrote: “A POWERFUL DEMONSTRATION OF INFLUENCE & CHARACTER… Enemies and critics of former Presidential candidate PETER GREGORY OBI should please take a bow for this gentleman…

“A leader should always attract local and global appeals… Standing right beside CARDINAL ARINZE, (in front of the spiritual corpse of POPE FRANCIS,) one of the former contenders for the rarefied position of the POPE is no mean feat… Well done, my very dear Brother…”

Momodu’s comments appeared to underscore Obi’s growing stature beyond Nigeria’s borders, encouraging detractors to reassess their stance on the former Anambra State governor.
