Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has dismissed media reports that he is looking forward to running for office in the 2027 presidential elections.
He made this known in a statement on his official Twitter handle in Lagos on Saturday.
“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.
