REBUTTAL: WE DID NOT SEEK AUDIENCE WITH OBA OF LAGOS – LABOUR PARTY
By Adeniyi Onaara
My attention has been drawn to a fictitious “Press Release” titled “Oba of Lagos: LP courtesy Visit” purportedly issued by me.
The said deceptive release claimed, among other things that “We informed Oba of Lagos that Peter Obi wanted to come and pay homage to him before our rally in Lagos but Oba said that we should not come”.
The fictitious release further claimed that Oba’s reason for not wanting to meet with Peter Obi was that “Oba is not interested in seeing another presidential candidate except Bola Tinubu”.
I would like to state unequivocally that the fictitious release did not originate with me, and I have never had such a conversation with the revered Oba of Lagos or any of his representatives. Please disregard the release in its entirety.
Please disregard any other release that does not come from our campaign’s official communication channels in the future.
May I assure Nigerians once more that we will continue to run a clean campaign, and that by the grace of God, we will triumph.
