A former member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, has taken a swipe at Senator Dino Melaye for saying Peter Obi had no national visibility until Atiku Abubakar brought him into limelight in 2019.
Ogene who was a former deputy chairman, Committee on Media and Public Affairs of the House of Representatives was reacting to Senator Melaye’s claim Obi who was the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the forthcoming coming 2022 general elections was discovered nationally by Atiku who himself is flying the flag of the People’s Democratic Party in the same poll.
In a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, Ogene reasoned that it was either Melaye missed his Civics classes, or was simply a poor student of current affairs, to have described a pacesetting two-time governor of Anambra State as “not known nationally, until 2019.”
The statement read: “Having been chased out of Kogi politics, Melaye appears to have crossed over to nearby Abuja to seek relevance, not as a political gladiator, but an irritant intent on gaining notoriety through theatrics.
