I never said I’d contest again in 2027 – Peter Obi

Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi

Obi also denied commenting on appointees of the Federal Government.

He made this known in a statement on his official Twitter handle in Lagos on Saturday.

The presidential candidate described both reports as bogus, regretting that Nigerian politics had sunken to the level where manipulation of the media space was now a trade.

“I have noticed with dismay, an emerging pattern, where fake media reports and news items are predicated on interviews and press remarks I never granted.

“Two recent instances relating to my saying that I am looking forward to running for office in 2027 on a supposed Arise TV interview, this never took place and the other, about my reaction to prospective appointees into the current Federal Government,” he said.

Obi said he would not allow fake news to distract his focus for a new Nigeria which he insisted, was possible.

According to him, his focus and that of the ‘Obidient’ Movement that he leads, would not derail from the original mission of creating a new Nigeria which they believe was possible.
