The Vice Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2019 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has disowned posters purporting that he is contesting the 2023 presidential election .
The release made available by his Media Office and signed by Mr. Valentine Obienyem, said that the office had been lately inundated with clarifications on Obi’s Presidential posters being circulated through various media platforms.
The release said Obi is was not in any way connected to, neither has he contracted or authorised anybody or organisation to promote such on his behalf.
The release further noted that Obi was not the type that would jump gun on a matter the party was yet to give final directives, “As a faithful party man,” “he will abide by the final position of the party on the issue.”
He frowned at people’s preoccupation with the next election when the situation in the country called for all hands to be on deck towards the restoration of security, eradication of poverty, creation of jobs and provision of other productive ventures for the country’s teeming unemployed youths, improving education and making health care accessible in the country.
