The senator representing Anambra Central, Victor Umeh, has defended Peter Obi’s recent visit to Rotimi Amaechi, describing it as a noble engagement rather than an act of political desperation.
Speaking on ARISE News on the development, the senator representing Anambra Central dismissed claims that Obi went to beg Amaechi to step down for him, calling such suggestions “condescending” and unfounded.
“Obi’s visit to Amaechi was a noble one with good intention. You have to talk to your opponent,” Umeh said, stressing that political dialogue is a necessary part of building alliances and strengthening democratic processes.

He noted that Obi did not visit Amaechi alone but was accompanied by others, further countering the narrative that the meeting was driven by personal ambition.
Umeh insisted that Obi is not a politician who would beg for power, adding that Amaechi himself is aware of that.
“Saying Peter Obi went to beg Amaechi to step down for him is very condescending. Obi is not someone who will beg you for what he wants or what is right,” he said.
The comments come amid ongoing political realignments and consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections, with opposition figures exploring possible collaborations.
