Val Obienyem, the Spokesman to the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has denied media reports that he (Obi) was attacked in Abuja.
Obienyem urged Nigerians to discountenance the reports which he described as false in a statement on Tuesday.
According to him, the LP Candidate who is now back to Nigeria is in top condition.
He said that Obi does not believe in politics of violence and has always emphasized a political process devoid of violence.
“The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and by the Frace of God, fueled by his merit, the next President of Nigeria, Mr. Peter Obi, is back to the country.
“In the last three weeks, he transversed the world, convincing Nigerians on the need to take back their country and move in sync with the rest of the world.
“Kindly ignore the falsehood making the rounds that he was attacked. May God forbid that even the very thought of such barbarism be visited on him.
“Obi has consistently reiterated his belief that politics should always be devoid of violence. This remains his political credo.” He said
Obienyem said further that the statement that Obi was trying to stage a fake assassination on himself by the Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, was worrisome.
He said that the statement indicated that that “the devil may be at work in endless and familiar scheming.
“We shall continue to entrust Mr. Peter Obi into the protection of the Almighty, while he ensures he is adequately protected to see through the work of re-building Nigeria that providence has entrusted unto him.” He said
