An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and former Police Commissioner, Alhaji Afusa Ogunrinde, has lambasted some Nigerians over their criticism and inflammatory remarks against popular businessman Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, over his appointment as the South-East Coordinator of City Boy Movement ahead of the 2027 elections.
