The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi has denied making any statement about Reno Omokri, a former aide of President Jonathan.
A purported rebuke of one Reno Omokri by Mr. Peter Obi during their meeting in London is being circulated. The statement claimed that the said Reno demanded money to support Obi and that Obi refused.
Rebuking the rumour, the Media Adviser to Obi, Valentine Obienyem in a statement said that Obi did not meet the said Reno in London as the write-up claimed.
“The statement being circulated did not come from Obi neither did he sanction it.
“The Peter Obi Media Office suspects the statement as the usual prank being played by the same people desirous of citing it as a justification for strengthening their unprovoked attack on Obi to present him as an attacker and hide under the assumption of defense and launch a further attack on Obi.
“Finally, Mr. Obi assures Nigerians of his abiding good wishes for our dear country, Nigeria”. (Vanguard)
