The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, on Sunday, declared that he holds no grudges against those spreading lies and falsehoods about him.

Obi, in a personally signed statement released via his X account, said he understands that those spreading lies about him are doing the bidding of their masters, but urged them to, instead of spreading lies about him, channel their energies towards helping Nigerians who are suffering due to the unfriendly economy.

The former Anambra State Governor submitted that his political journey has not been rooted in any personal gain, but the principle of genuine love for the people.

The declaration by Obi follows a recent allegation by the special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who accused Obi of being behind a planned protest by some Nigerians against the government.

The LP presidential candidate, however, said rather than fabricating and spreading lies about him, it is better to pay attention to the plight of the citizens who are crying out due to the hardship in the country.

“My political journey has never been about desperation or personal gain. It is rooted in principles and a genuine care for the people. Rather than fabricating lies, you and your paymasters should listen to the cries of the poor, who cannot afford medicine and who are uncertain about their next meal. Pay attention to the voices of reason from individuals and institutions that emphasize the plight of our citizens. Let us unite in building a nation where everyone can thrive.”
