The Chief Spokesman for Obi-Datti Campaign Council, Yunusa Tanko has berated media newspaper [Not this platform] for publishing a false report about the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi.
The newspaper had
written about a purported interview where the former Anambra governor revealed
his plans to become president in 2027.
However, the Labour Party Spokesperson, Tanko
in a statement released on Monday stressed that Peter Obi never granted any
interview at home or abroad about plans on becoming president in 2027.
He also cautioned the newspaper to desist
from fabricating lies against its party’s flag bearer.
The statement reads: “Our attention has been
drawn to a publication in the media newspaper [Not this platform] 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 HEPO granted such a nebulous interview to Arise
TV.
“HEPO 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, HEPO did not at any
time grant such an interview to any media organisation in Nigeria or outside
the country. Please note!”
