Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, said he has noticed a deliberate and well-orchestrated efforts by some persons to blackmail him into conforming to some of their nefarious agendas.
Obi said their dubious moves had led to the false circulation of a video from his recent keynote speech at the installation of Rotarian, Professor A. U. Nnonyelu in Anambra State.
In a post on his X handle on Friday, the LP presidential candidate said they have twisted the video to suit their motive to suggest that he declared war on Northerners.
Obi said the misrepresentation was part of a larger narrative of blackmail, aimed at fitting him into their malicious agenda.
His words: “I have noticed some deliberate and well-orchestrated efforts by some persons to blackmail me into conforming to some of their nefarious agendas.
“Their dubious moves have led to the false circulation of a video from my recent keynote speech at the installation of Rotarian Professor A. U. Nnonyelu in Anambra State.
“They have twisted the video to suit their motive to suggest that I declared war on Northerners when, in fact, I spoke about declaring war on economic stagnation, insecurity, and corruption.
“Another video circulating online, supposedly showing me leading a protest in Abuja, is also false.
“The video was actually taken during my visit to the Labour Party HQ, where I mediated a clash between the Labour Party and the NLC.
“The video was conveniently edited to create a false narrative, and those responsible have been paid to spread this misinformation.
“This kind of misinformation has no place in our democracy, where truth and honesty should prevail.
“This misrepresentation is part of a larger narrative of blackmail, aimed at fitting me into their malicious agenda.
“I remain committed to a new Nigeria where justice, equity, and caring for the citizens will prevail over the greed of a few.”
