Peter Obi, who was the Presidential candidate for the Labour Party in the last general election, has refuted claims that he visited Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, at Defence House in Abuja. Obi's denial came after fabricated images of him, Tinubu, and other individuals at Defence House started circulating on social media.
He stated, "I did not visit Tinubu, that never happened. This is an example of how things can get twisted around. The opposition is now trying to come up with ways to create problems and slander me with false accusations."
Peter Obi emphasized that his opponents are resorting to tactics such as falsely labeling him as a tribal or religious bigot or attempting to tarnish his reputation by investigating his family and spreading rumors of a lovechild or other falsehoods. He firmly denied visiting anyone, including Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The former governor reiterated his commitment to seeking justice and ensuring that the case before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal is brought to a just and satisfactory resolution.
