He made his statement just after hours before President-elect Bola Tinubu will be sworn in on Monday.
Despite their concerns about the state of the polity, the former governor of Anambra State advised Nigerians to maintain peace and adhere to the law.
Obi claimed that “efforts will be made to taint his image”, adding that “campaigns of calumny were being perfected to defame his character and diminish his hard-earned integrity in the coming months”.
He assured he would never shrink from the commitment to work with like-minded fellow Nigerians in order to end the curse of missed opportunities and squandered hopes in the nation.
His tweet reads;
I am aware of some evil designs being hatched against me and my supporters in the coming months. Efforts will be made to taint my image. Campaigns of calumny are being perfected to defame my character and diminish my hard-earned integrity.
These schemes will aim at degrading our support base and confusing the public. But, no evil campaign will alter the substance of my character; nor diminish my patriotic commitment to a better Nigeria
