Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, Peter Obi has denied visiting the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu at Defence House, Abuja.
Obi made the rebuttal in reaction to photoshopped pictures of himself (Obi), Tinubu and others at Defence House being shared on social media platforms.
The former Anambra State governor described the report as false…
His words: “I never visited him (Tinubu). I didn’t. These are some of the things I have been telling you. They have turned the whole thing upside down. So, what they (the opposition) do now is think about what they are going to do to cause issues and what they are going to do to label him (Obi) this or that.
“If it is not labelling him (Obi) tribal bigot, or religious bigot when he is not speaking, they will find his family and check whether he has a lovechild and all sorts of things, including misrepresented identity among others.
“I didn’t visit anybody,” the former governor said.
He maintained that he was committed to the course of justice and was ready to pursue the case before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to a logical conclusion.
The LP standard bearer also clarified that he doesn’t hold United Kingdom citizenship.
He said even though he stayed in the country for some period, he returned his “unlimited residency permit” to the authorities when he was about to leave the country…
