I never said Peter Odili as my classmate – Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, has cleared the air on the comment he made about Peter Odili during his recent visit to Rivers State.

Obi had said Odili, who is the former governor of Rivers State, was his schoolmate and a great soccer player.

Many, however, misinterpreted his comment that Obi said Odili was his classmate.

Clearing the air, Obi said he was quoted out of context as he never mentioned Odili as his classmate, rather school mate.

He tweeted, “My remarks when I visited Port Harcourt have been wrongly interpreted by some people. The former Governor of Rivers State, Dr Peter Odili and I, are among other prominent Nigerians that schooled in Christ the King College (CKC) Onitsha, and we remain alumni of the school.”
