During the presidential debate which took place yesterday, The Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi publicly expressed his anger at politician Dino Melaye whilst the debate was in progress at the presidential town hall meeting organized by Arise TV on Sunday night, November 6.

This happened when one of the attendees stood up to question the presidential candidates and Dino was heard saying “Na wa o, Obi people.” On hearing the words of Dino, Peter Obi snapped at him.

“Stop that Dino. Why are you always calling me? I won’t take that. This man is from ANPP. Why are you calling him Obi people?” a visibly angry Peter Obi said. Obviously the attendee who asked a question was from ANPP, and Dino was in a hurry to throw shades at Peter Obi which Peter didn’t take lightly.
