Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi, is hale and hearty, his Media Adviser Valentine Obienyem has said.
In a press statement on Monday September 12, 2022, Obienyem urged Nigerians to disregard the falsehood making the rounds that Obi was attacked, adding that the rumour which began after the spokesman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, alleged that Obi was planning to stage-manage an attack on himself, was false.
“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.
“It is pertinent to note that the news, coming shortly after Barr. Festus Keyamo’s press release, alleging plan by Obi to stage manage his own assassination is worrisome. It shows 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,” Obienyem stated.
