The media office of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the
Labour Party (LP), says Oseloka Obi did not step on Nigeria’s flag.
The media office was reacting to tweets that went viral over
the weekend which had the picture of a man standing on Nigeria’s flag, with
claims that the person is Oseloka, Obi’s son.
“Oseloka Obi, Peter Obi’s son, standing on Nigeria Flag and
putting on IPOB T-Shirt. Today, his dad wants to be President of Nigeria,” a
tweet by @OfficialPigo reads.
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, the LP presidential
candidate’s media office described the tweets as “desperation of the
opposition”.
“Everyday, the
desperation of the opposition is becoming stronger,” the statement reads.
“Their latest mischief is the circulation of a picture, most
probably contrived, of a young man in Biafra apparel standing on Nigeria’s flag
and passed it as Mr. Peter Obi’s son.
“We wish to state that the said young man is not Mr. Peter
Obi’s son, who, by his strict upbringing marked by rigorous discipline,
understands what civic duty and responsibilities entail.
“Mr. Oseloka Obi is
about six feet and taller than his father; while the young man they used for
the mischief is slightly above 5 feet.
“The Peter Obi Media office calls on those seeking elective
posts and their supporters to always be guided by the right ethics at all
times.”
