By Idibia Gabriel
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Mr. Peter Obi has refuted alleged media publication of his plan to become President in 2027.
A popular online media (not us) had earlier reported that Obi granted an interview to Arise television of his plans to wait till 2027 Presidency, according a statement recently released and signed by Obi/Datti Chief spokesman Dr. Yunusa Tanko.
“Our attention has been drawn to a publication in the Daily Post and some social media networks on an interview granted by His Excellency Peter Obi to Arise tv.

“We want to quickly point out that this is the highest level of yellow journalism taken too far all in a bid to change the narrative as there was no time HEPO granted such a nebulous interview to Arise tv.
“HEPO arrived Nigeria from an overseas trip just this weekend and for any reputable media organisation to publish such a fallacy and complete fabrication, calls to question the kind of journalism some Nigerians are practicing.
“For all avoidance of doubt, HEPO did not at anytime grant such an interview to any media organisation in Nigeria or outside the country. Please note!”, the statement lamented.
