Peter Obi disclaims contradictory statements on his political affiliation

Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party has denied knowledge of two conflicting statements allegedly credited to him on two different political parties.

A statement from Ibrahim Umar, the spokesman of Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, said that the office has been made aware of two different statements, claiming to come from their Principal, Peter Obi.

One of the statements is a denial that he is returning to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and reaffirmed his commitment to the African Democratic Congress, ADC. 

While the other statement claimed that Obi has been offered the position of the National Organising Secretary, NOS, in the ADC. 

Umar said that neither of the two purported statements originated from Obi or his media office.

"The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party has been a subject of speculation in the political space even as he has remained focused on his mission for the establishment of a new Nigeria of our dreams.

"Peter Obi has been unequivocal in his position in the ongoing coalition and didn't need anyone to put words into his mouth.

"He has remained focused on his mission but would not accept anybody attributing a statement to him just to satisfy their devious agenda.

"The media office wishes, therefore, to urge the public to disregard any statement purported to come from him outside his media office or his official handle," Umar clarified.
