Candidate of Labour Party in the last presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi has disclaimed his alleged meeting with the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump in Washington.
Obi also said the trending picture of his meeting with the National Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo in his office was fabricated.
The former Anambra State governor in a statement on X on Wednesday, said both pictures were fake and doctored, “and the accompanying stories are entirely false.
“I have not met Mr. Trump recently, nor have I had any such meeting with MC Oluomo.”
Obi stated that these fabrications highlighted the persistent dangers of fake news and disinformation in the society.
“They are not only misleading but deliberately designed to confuse, misguide, and distract the public.
“Nigerians and the international community must remain vigilant, verify information before sharing, and resist the culture of propaganda that undermines truth and integrity,” he said.
The Labour Party National Leader explained that if he had such meetings, he would have personally made them public on his X handle.
“My politics has never been about seeking praise or cheap publicity; it is about confronting the real problems of Nigeria and working towards solutions grounded in integrity, accountability, and transparency.
“My politics is strictly focused on addressing the plight of the suffering Nigerians, by tackling insecurity, rule of law, education, healthcare, and pulling millions out of poverty,” he added.
