Obi yet to make statement on PDP, ADC — Media aide
By Jeffrey Agbo
Ibrahim Umar, a media aide of the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has dismissed a statement claiming to come from Obi, denying joining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and reaffirming his commitment to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr Umar said Obi would not accept anyone attributing a statement to him just to satisfy their agenda.
“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,” the statement noted.
“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.”
