…. Says Allegation a Malicious Attempt at Deformation of Character

The Obi – Datti Chief Spokesman, Dr Yunusa Tanko, has reacted to the claim by Mr Calistus Okafor that the National Chairman of Labour Party Barrester Julius Abure, gave the Presidential Candidate of the party, Peter Obi eight hundred and fifty million Naira, (N850million) to prosecute the 2023 election.

Dr Tanko said Obi did not collect any funds from the party describing the claim as false, that the reverse is the case.

He noted that it was Obi who actually was giving money to the party. He challenged Okafor to produce evidence, if actually the chairman told him that he did give Obi money for the purpose of campaign during the election.

He Exellency has been exemplary in his financial conduct in both his private and public life.

infact he always matain and always demand for Accountability and Transparency from anybody around
him.

He maintaned that anybody around him should not collect any money from anyone that he or she can not account for.

Dr Tanko declared that he was in the forefront of the campaign and privy to most of the expenses during the campaign and to the best of his knowledge, the party never provided any money directly to Obi to support his campaign rallies across the country.

The Campaign spokesman further stressed that Obi and his supporters were quite aware of all the campaign of calumny being orchestrated of recent from various quarters against the LP leader just to paint him in bad faith by those scared of his rising acceptance by the Nigerian people.

“We are aware that people are already scheming for 2027 and it is unfortunate that certain individuals have chosen to divert attention from the high rate of insecurity and poverty that are currently threatening the very existence of our nation by constantly attacking the personality of Peter Obi.

“Those are the enemy of Nigeria and Nigerians but l know that God will disappoint them and rescue our country from their grips whether they believe it or not’.
