Obi and the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, were last week locked in a verbal war.
Tinubu had accused Obi supporters of mudslinging and spreading fake news against other candidates, especially him, ahead of the 2023 general election, and Obi responded that he was more focused on issue-based campaign.
