Arewa Group, a socio-political organization dedicated to the advancement of Northern Nigeria, has strongly voiced its disapproval of Peter Obi’s recent construction of a substandard borehole in one of the Northern communities. In a statement, the group criticized Obi for his unkind gesture and warned against the erection of such substandard projects in the region.
The group expressed their dissatisfaction with the project, particularly highlighting the fact that Peter Obi had inscribed his name on the borehole, implying that he was responsible for its construction. They viewed this act as an insult to the community and questioned whether Obi would dare to construct a similarly substandard project in any community in southern Nigeria with his name attached.
In a strong message, the Arewa Group stated, “The borehole Peter Obi installed in our community is an eyesore. Furthermore, his act of inscribing his name on the project is an insult. If Peter Obi believes that such an unkind gesture and substandard project can win the hearts of Northerners, then he must be joking.”
The group firmly asserted that they do not need or want Obi’s substandard and useless projects and warned him against patronizing the northern region. They emphasized that the people of Northern Nigeria should not be regarded as pawns to advance anyone’s political career.
“We are not people to be used to advance his dying political career. We can see through his charades, and when the time is right, we will demonstrate to Peter Obi that we are not people to be toyed with.”
This stern warning from the Arewa Group serves as a reminder to Peter Obi to never insult Northern Nigeria in such a manner again. The group, dedicated to the advancement and welfare of the region, emphasizes that they deserve projects of high quality and value and will not tolerate substandard efforts from any individual.
