But what is more shocking to me is why he has chosen to use Dr Peter Obi's name to launder his father's image at a time when Nigerians have seen everything he had to offer. However, I do not put the rest of the blame on him for his endless tantrums, yet it shocks me that respected journalists like Mr Seun Okinbaloye should avail him of their supposedly…
