He said, “It is very ironical that those that attacked Peter Obi are those he has planned to lift out of poverty, both intellectual poverty and material poverty.
“The incident that happened to Peter Obi is an evidence of political brainwashing going on in some Northern states by selfish and wicked politicians to create more Alamajiri’s.
“Most northern teenagers and youths are deliberately denied education by politicians in the North, with a view to keeping them as beggars and shoe shiners, while the same Northern Governors, Senators, Ministers, Federal House of Representatives members State House of Assembly members, Director in federal and State agencies send their own children to the best schools in world.

It’s obvious that those that stoned Peter Obi missed their target which should be the Some Northern past and present Presidents starting from President Mohammadu Buhari, State Governors, Senators etc.
“The Attack on Peter Obi should throw every progressive minded person in the North to reflect and meditates why illiteracy is more high in the Northern Nigeria than Southern Nigeria even after being most regions producing the most Heads of State and President of Nigeria since 1960 of Nigeria Independence.
“’I therefore, urged the few enlightened youths in North to use their local languages(Mother tongue) to keep sensitization and enlighten their teenagers and Youth on the harm the politician from North have done to them since 1960, and prepare to massively elect Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed to lead the country as only guarantee to lift them out of poverty.
“It’s now very crucial that the first inaugural speech of Peter Obi when elected must capture declaration of compulsory free education in most of Northern states from Primary School to Secondary School with best modernized equipment and infrastructure, Igboayaka said.
