“I was never arrested in UK” – Peter Obi speaks regarding alleged arrest in the UK

The recent news about the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, being detained at a UK airport has been debunked by Obi himself. In an interview with Arise TV on Monday night, Obi clarified that he was not detained but rather stopped for a routine immigration check. The former governor of Anambra State disclosed that the immigration check lasted for less than 20 minutes, and he was treated with due respect and VIP treatment. He attributed the incident to the duplication of his identity by someone.

Obi emphasized that he was never arrested, and the immigration officials only wanted to verify his identity. He noted that he was given VIP treatment throughout the process, contrary to the reports circulating on social media. Obi said, “I was stopped for a routine immigration check in the UK because it appears that my identity was duplicated by someone. I was never arrested. I was treated with due respect and walked through the VIP process. Everything lasted less than 20 minutes.” The clarification by Obi has put to rest the rumors and speculations that he was detained by UK immigration officials. It highlights the importance of verifying news before circulating it on social media to avoid spreading false information.

Peter Obi reacts as FG postpones 2023 census

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi backs the Federal Government of Nigeria following decision to postpone the 2023 census. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Saturday postponed the 2023 national census scheduled for May 3-7 indefinitely.

Addressing the development, Peter Obi emphasized how perfect the move was despite the country being due for the head coubt. In a statement via Twitter, he wrote; “FGN’s decision to postpone the 2023 Population and Housing Census, scheduled for 3-7 May 2023, to a date to be determined by the incoming Administration is a propitious and welcome development. National Census is a critical development and nation-building tool. Even though Nigeria is long overdue for a census, conducting one requires proper planning and diligence to ensure the sanctity of the results; the efficacy of the data gathered therefrom, as well as their utility in driving national development goals, our living standards and growing national housing deficits. It is hoped that when eventually the census is conducted, it will serve as confidence-building measures instead of being fraught with the usual controversy. -PO”

“Peter Obi’s petition against Tinubu is an effort in futility”

Delta North senator-elect, Ned Nwoko, has said the petition of Peter Obi against Tinubu is an effort in futility. According to Punch, Nwoko explained that once the President-elect is sworn in, the petition filed against him at the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, might not see the light of day. According to him, the Labour Party’s ‘’poor assessment of the situation and unrealistic expectations” led to its defeat. He said if the opposition parties had teamed up, they would have crushed the ruling APC in the election, given the ‘poor performance’ of the current APC regime, led by President Buhari. “Once Tinubu is inaugurated as President, he takes charge of everything. He becomes the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; he orders them and uses them as he wishes. He appoints new Chief Justice upon recommendation by the judicial council. So, you see, it is almost impossible to stop him from completing his four years tenure.
Moving forward, the PDP and Labour Party have to come to terms and make next election more strategic. Natural alliance between both parties is the only way to save Nigeria from this inauspicious government.”, Nwoko noted.

Lamidi Apapa faction of Labour Party accused of approaching tribunals to sabotage Peter Obi

The Labour Party has raised an alarm of suspended self-acclaimed chairman of the party, Lamidi Apapa, approaching the election tribunals for all cases filed by the party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against the President-elect, Bola Tinubu and the Independent National Electoral Commission to be dismissed. The Labour Party made this known in a statement signed by Obiora Ifoh, its Acting National Publicity Secretary. According to the party, approaching the tribunals to withdraw all the cases lodged by Labour Party candidates across the board is the height of subterfuge and treachery, and Nigerians will resist this ploy to plunge the nation into unnecessary turmoil. The statement read; “Daily, the evil intention of the breakaway faction of the Labour Party, led by the suspended Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa continues to manifest and just this morning, our legal team was confronted by the stark revelation that these men have advanced their plot by approaching all the tribunals where our numerous candidates lodged their election petitions arising from the recently held general election. “Alongside Lamidi Apapa on the plot to frustrate Labour Party’s destined victory in the tribunals and also to derail the fledging democracy are some of the suspended members including the Samuel Akingbade, Gbenga Daramola, Anselem Eragbe and Abayomi Arabambi erstwhile National Legal Adviser, National Financial Secretary, National Youth Leader and National Publicity Secretary respectively amongst others. “Recall that the leadership of the Labour Party has been swimming through the murky waters of conspiracy, treachery and sabotage orchestrated by these former officers of the party.

“We had long suspected that moles were planted to sabotage the efforts of the party to offer Nigerians an alternative to the wicked and clueless governance in place today, but the desperation to satisfy their pay master are beginning to threaten our common peace and of course our democracy. “Approaching the tribunals to withdraw all the cases lodged by Labour Party candidates across board is the height of subterfuge and treachery, and Nigerians will resist this ploy to plunge the nation into unnecessary turmoil. “Their actions show that they are working against the party and that they are working to destroy the party. “If they claim that they have a problem with the national leadership of the party, will they also claim that they have a problem with the candidates of the party? What offence has the candidates of the party committed that they are now moving around to withdraw their matters from the tribunal.”

Peter Okoye reacts to Achraf Hakimi’s divorce scandal

Nigerian musician, Peter Okoye, has expressed his views regarding the divorce scandal of Moroccan footballer, Achraf Hakimi.

Recall that, Achraf Hakimi’s wife, Hiba Abouk filed for divorce after the footballer allegedly cheated on her while she and their children were away in Dubai and is allegedly demanding half of his assets. However, she was informed by the lawyers that her husband has no legal assets, as all his properties are in his mother’s name.

In response to the scandal, Peter Okoye stated that he does not understand why men are celebrating this story. He believes that people should not marry women they do not trust, unless they expect their wife to suffer after the divorce. “#MyOwnViewsAndOpinion I don’t understand why most men are rejoicing over this Hakimi story?

British government tenders apology to Peter Obi over illegal detention

UK government apologize to Peter Obi illegal detention

The British government has tendered an apology to the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi after he was wrongly fully detained by an immigration officer who had mistaken him for someone who impersonated him to commit some crimes.

It was also gathered from a statement released on the Labor Party website that the UK govt expressed that the unsavoury treatment had been totally unacceptable. “Frankly, the Immigration Official’s action – has been appalling – and we are sorry,” they quoted. Recall that the ex-Anambra governor was detained and questioned for a duplication violation, according to Diran Onifade, the party’s campaign council spokesman, who disclosed in a statement released on Wednesday, April 12. On Good Friday, April 7, 2023, Obi landed at Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria and was confronted by immigration officers. He was given a detention note and instructed to move aside by the officials while he waited in line for the required airport procedures. Onifade said: “He was questioned for a long time and it was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country. Since the impersonator is still at large, the scenario is unimaginable as Obi could be implicated in a series of forbidden acts and even be framed in a manner that could be a huge embarrassment to him, his family, his party, the obidient Movement, and indeed Nigeria, where he currently and indisputably remains the conscience of the people. The immigration officials who were also taken aback at the reaction of the people were forced to reveal that Obi was being questioned for a ‘DUPLICATION offense’ meaning that someone has been impersonating him in London. The high implication of the offense is that the impersonator could be committing all kinds of weighty crimes and other dubious acts and it would be recorded in Obi’s name.”
