He however expressed disappointment to the fact that despite all his efforts for Peter Obi, Peter Obi still accused him of working against him in the just recently concluded elections.

His words: "When I chose Peter Obi as Atiku's VP, Ekweremadu, Umahi and Ayim asked me why I chose for Igbos. But I take exemption to Peter Obi’s comment that I came out against him, people are not being sincere and appreciative. How can you talk about me rigging the election? I don't work as ad-hoc staff for Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, so I am not in the place to rig elections for anybody. When you have INEC's materials, you can talk about rigging. When Peter Obi says I was against him, it is unfortunate because nobody ever told me that I campaigned against him. It is incorrect to say I was against him".
