The Labour Party’s presidential candidate during the last general elections, Peter Obi, has debunked the circulating rumour of his purported meeting with Nigerian “president-elect,” Bola Tinubu.
The former Anambra governor also spoke on his issues with Immigration officers in the United Kingdom recently which led to his being delay for few minutes .
He revealed these on Monday night during an interview with Arise TV, adding that the rumours and accompanying photoshopped images being circulated on social media platforms were part of the opposition’s efforts to derail his goal.
“I didn’t visit anybody,” the former governor said.
He maintained his commitment to the rule of law and his willingness to see the case before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal through to its conclusion.
The LP candidate also stated that he did not have British citizenship.
He claimed that despite staying in the country for some time, he returned his “unlimited residency permit” to authorities when he was about to leave.
Obi explained that he was only stopped for a routine immigration check during his recent “arrest” in London.
“I was stopped for a routine immigration check which didn’t last more than 20 minutes. I was never arrested,” the former governor clarified.
Concerning the Labour Party’s internal crisis, Obi stated that there were no issues within the party and that the reported crisis was the result of “rascality” by paid agents bent on derailing the party’s pursuit of justice.
“In the Labour party, we have no issue. Abure is our chairman and those things you’re seeing are just the handiwork of paid agents who are trying to create confusion,” he added.
