The Media Office of the Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has kicked against what it described as false northern whisper campaign against its candidate.
According to Peter Obi Media Reach, the circulation of the falsehood regarding Obi’s relationship with northerners during his tenure as governor of Anambra State has persisted despite credible denials from northern leaders in Anambra State, who have explicitly stated that the NDC was, and remains, a vital supporter of theirs both in and out of office.
In a statement signed on Saturday, POMR spokesman Idris Zekeri said that Nigeria cannot be rebuilt by weaponising lies that have long divided its people.
