You’re Authors Of Sham Stories, Not Labour Party, Peter Obi Knocks APC

Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has called out the ruling party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) for adopting a negative strategy of spreading fake news in the social media space and blaming it on the Labour Party.

Recall that APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in a statement issued by the Director of his Media and Communications, Bayo Onanuga, urged Obi to stop his supporters from spreading fake news about him.

According to Obi in a tweet via his official Twitter page on Thursday, his party has no hands in such a deceitful ploy, as they remain resolute in their commitment to an issue-based and clean campaign.

“We remain resolute in our commitment to an issue-based and clean campaign.

“We will also rebuff all such ploys of deceit and calumny meant to create disaffection among Nigeria’s voting population, who desire credible leadership change. – PO”
