Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, has assured Femi Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend, that his \u2018Obidient movement\u2019 will base its campaign on issues rather than personality attacks.<\/p>\n

Obi said that his campaign would be based on everyday issues affecting Nigerians and Nigeria, insisting that the recent controversy was not what the movement and his ambition stand for.<\/p>\n

He gave the assurance when he visited Kuti, according to a video clip online.<\/p>\n

This is coming less than a week after Kuti gave a reason his family would not support any of the top three presidential candidates: Asiwaju Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar and Obi in the 2023 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw what my own brother, Femi, tweeted and I said no! That is not the future and the society we want to build.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will lead a campaign based on issues that affect Nigerians and that is what I encourage everybody to do,\u201d Obi said while addressing Kuti in the video clip.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, others present during Obi\u2019s meeting with Kuti include Charles Oputa, known better as Charly Boy, among others.<\/p>\n
