The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi says his attention has been drawn to some pictures currently circulating on social media, falsely portraying meetings I never had.
Obi in his social media postings noted that one of such images purports to show him with US President Donald Trump, alongside a fabricated claim that Trump praised him.
He further alerted the public that another photograph seeks to portray him with a Lagos based transport Union guru, MC Oluomo in his office.
The former Anambra State Governor described both pictures and the accompanying stories as entirely false, fake and doctored.
” I have not met Mr Trump recently, nor have I had any such meeting with MC Oluomo.
“These fabrications highlight the persistent dangers of fake news and disinformation in our society. They are not only misleading but deliberately designed to confuse, misguide, and distract the public. Nigerians and the international community must remain vigilant, verify information before sharing, and resist the culture of propaganda that undermines truth and integrity.
“For the avoidance of doubt, if I had such meetings, I would have personally made them public on my X handle,” the statement noted.
He made it clear that his politics has never been about seeking praise or cheap publicity; but always centers on confronting the real problems of Nigeria and working towards solutions grounded in integrity, accountability, and transparency.
“My politics is strictly focused on addressing the plight of the suffering Nigerians, by tackling insecurity, rule of law, education, healthcare, and pulling millions out of poverty,” Obi pointed out.
