The Labour Party (LP) has dismissed the reports making the rounds that its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi has concluded plans to try his luck again for Nigeria’s top job in 2027.
The Chief Spokesman of Obi-Datti Campaign Council, Dr. Yunusa Tanko said the purported interview with Arise Television which Obi was quoted to have said he will contest again in 2027, never happened as the former governor just returned from overseas trip.
Tanko in a statement said that Obi never granted interview to any media organisation in Nigeria or outside the country.
“Our attention has been drawn to a publication in the Daily Post and some social media networks on an interview granted by His Excellency Peter Obi to Arise tv.
“We want to quickly point out that this is the highest level of yellow journalism taken too far all in a bid to change the narrative as there was no time Obi granted such a nebulous interview to Arise tv.
“Obi arrived Nigeria from an overseas trip just this weekend and for any reputable media organisation to publish such a fallacy and complete fabrication calls to question the kind of journalism some Nigerians are practicing.
“For all avoidance of doubt, Obi did not at anytime grant such an interview to any media organisation in Nigeria or outside the country. Please note!”
