Peter Obi Media Office Denies Misinformation Ahead of 2027

The Peter Obi Media Office issued a statement in Abuja on Saturday, rejecting a campaign of misinformation claiming that Peter Obi did not treat northerners well during his tenure as Governor of Anambra State. The Office emphasized that northerners in Anambra have confirmed their positive treatment by Obi and questioned the motives behind the false narratives circulating as the 2027 general elections approach.

They stated that credible intelligence indicates ongoing whisper campaigns against Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate. The Office challenged those spreading these claims to provide verifiable evidence and reiterated that Obi governed Anambra State for all residents, regardless of ethnicity or religion.

They criticized the timing of these allegations, suggesting that those unable to contest Obi's competence and integrity are resorting to ethnic suspicion and misinformation. The statement concluded by urging northerners to seek factual information and reject divisive lies.
