In a statement issued by the Obi-Datti group, it has been categorically asserted that Apapa and Arambabi are not members of the Labour Party (LP) and have been increasingly vocal in their criticism of LP standard bearer, Peter Obi, despite claiming affiliation with the party.
The statement questions the authenticity of their allegiance, suggesting that they have been more critical of Peter Obi than their supposed sponsors, prompting a call for media houses to reconsider providing them a platform. The group also challenges their connection to LP, noting that none of them or their family members voted for Peter Obi.
The group's spokesperson stated, "Is it not yet time they leave him alone and look for another thing to say?"
Peter Obi, in his capacity as the Labour Party's standard bearer, recently held a press conference where he offered advice to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He encouraged the embattled President to address the "certificate gate" issue and present a clear record. The statement characterizes this as a patriotic advisory, but alleges that certain individuals chose to respond with fabrications and insults.
Among the claims refuted in the statement is one regarding Obi's family, where it was alleged that he was impersonating his deceased senior brother. The Obi-Datti group clarifies that Obi's most senior brother is alive and has not been impersonated.
Additionally, allegations made by Arambabi suggesting that Obi was a threat to his life are dismissed as baseless, citing Obi's non-violent approach to politics, even in the face of significant provocations.
The group acknowledges the frustrations of individuals hired to criticize Peter Obi and believes that they resort to unfounded allegations when unable to find substantive criticisms.
The statement references Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo, the Papal Nuncio to the Czech Republic, who recently spoke about Peter Obi's consistent commitment to caring for society over the decades. Archbishop Okolo highlighted Obi's nature of helping and caring for those around him, reinforcing his track record as a caring and compassionate leader.
