Peter Obi, the 2019
vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has denied
making any public statement about the attack on a former Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu.
Ekweremadu was on Saturday
assaulted in Nuremberg, Germany by suspected members of the Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB.
Obi, in a statement by his
spokesperson, Val obienyem, said he has not spoken about the incident because
of his characteristic calmness but has appropriately made calls both within and
outside the country.
Obienyem dismissed as fake the
statement purportedly credited to his principal on the incident.
According to the statement, “the
attention of the Vice-Presidential candidate of the PDP, Peter Obi has been drawn
to a statement on the incident in Germany, purportedly made by him.
“As a matter of fact, Mr. Peter
Obi was neither in Lagos nor did he attend any PDP meeting in Lagos on Sunday,
August 18, where he supposedly made the statement.
“We wish to place on record that
Mr. Peter Obi has not made any public statement on the matter. In his
characteristic calmness, he has appropriately made calls both within and
outside the country. I assure you that in the end, he is for what is best for
the Igbos and the country.”
