The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter
Obi, yielded to the call of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu that the campaign should be based on what will advance the
growth, progress and stability of Nigeria.
Tinubu’s campaign organisation on Wednesday said Obi’s
supporters are defaming the former Lagos State Governor and charged him to call
them to order.
Obi in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Valentine
Obienyem, Wednesday, said Tinubu’s statement mirrored what he stands for.
He stressed on the need for all Nigerians to desist from
spreading lies, malice and denigrating other candidates.
Obi noted that if supporters were mindful of this, some
articles published in some newspapers against Obi would not have been
published, including those with offensive titles.
The statement partly read, “On the alleged fake letter from
the President of Ghana and the alleged request of 50 Billion Naira monthly
payment, Obienyem said that while Obi was not bothered about their
authenticity, it was wickedness to link them to his supporters, insisting that
any publication from Obi’s group was always properly signed and the place it
was coming from very clearly spelt out.
“We know that things are not well in Nigeria. We know of the
agitations in different parts of the country, our principal has always said
what he would do with such organizations to stop their agitation and bring them
back to Nigeria as one happy family. Rather than others say what they will do,
they are here creating more problems by trying vainly and wickedly to link
their fellow contestants to some of those organisations.
“He expressed happiness that Nigerians knew the truth and
that such gimmicks used to deceive them would no longer work.”
