NDC's Zekeri Denies Peter Obi's Gym Injury Rumors

Idris Zekeri, the spokesman for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi, has refuted viral reports claiming that Obi was hospitalized after suffering a neck injury in a gym. Zekeri labeled these claims as fabrications by Obi's political opponents aimed at gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

He assured that Obi is in excellent health and was engaged in an international flight at the time of the report. Zekeri emphasized that there is "zero iota of truth" in the rumors and criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) for spreading misinformation.

He expressed confidence in Obi's readiness to engage with Nigerians and dismissed the injury reports as a desperate attempt by detractors who have failed to fulfill their political mandates. Zekeri did not disclose details about Obi's destination, citing a lack of authorization.
