Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has distanced himself from a statement purportedly issued by him, which claimed he was joining the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He has reaffirmed his allegiance to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The former Anambra State governor made this known via a statement signed by Ibrahim Umar of the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, in Abuja on Tuesday.
The statement read in part: “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.”
