Anambra Central Senator Victor Umeh has said any Igbo person who opposes Peter Obi's presidential bid is an enemy of the Igbo people.
Obi is the NDC candidate.
Umeh made the remarks in a video that is trending online, shared on Monday.
He called Obi the conscience of the Igbo people and urged people in the South East to get behind him.
He also warned leaders in the region, especially the Anambra State Government, not to work against Obi for political reasons.
Umeh said he helped bring Governor Chukwuma Soludo into office and that no one has become governor of the state since 2003 without his support.
He said the governor is holding the job in trust for everyone.
He warned Soludo not to try to derail Obi's ambition, calling such a move an abomination.
He also argued that if politicians from other regions can openly back Tinubu, Igbo people should be free to back Obi without being attacked or condemned.
He said that if Obi wins in 2027, it will be a win for the whole South East.
