The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has denied threat of violence attributed to him,just as he implored the “Obidient” family and all men and women of goodwill to remain calm, prayerful and alert to the events in the country.
Obi,who spoke through his media adviser, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, Obi advised Nigerians to ignore the fake news circulating in the social media where he was said to have threatened: that he would fight and “bleed to death until” his mandate is restored; that he would drag “INEC until there will be no life left in them”; and that he was “looking forward to jailing all that partook in this scam and fraud called election”, among others.
He described the news as not only false, but also mischievous, misleading and injurious to his personality.
According to him,so far as he believed that the election was gravely flawed, as being attested to by everybody that was part of the process, that he would continue to pursue the recovery of the stolen mandate through the legal process.
He said: “I have worked through similar paths in the past and was successful. I shall follow the same path without endangering the relative peace in the country, which is actually what those election riggers are striving desperately to upset”.
