Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation dismisses reported assassination attempt on Obi as ‘useless, fake, unfounded’ 

The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation has dismissed “as useless, fake and unfounded” reports of an assassination attempt on Mr. Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the course of his ongoing Enugu state Campaign Rally tour, Thursday, January 12, 2023.

A statement by Diran Onifade, Head of Media of the Organisation said that the video clip being circulated to back up such unfounded report “was a routine crowd control scene as excited supporters trooped out to greet him at an appearance at his alma mater, the University of Nigeria Nsukka earlier today.”

Onifade stressed that “Mr. Peter Obi and his campaign team are hale and hearty, and the campaign train continues to be received by unprecedented welcome as it bestrides the nation.”

Huge crowds have been trooping out to receive Mr. Obi wherever he has gone for his campaigns across the country so far, and the crowds in Nsukka and Enugu were unprecedented, with many pressing forward to touch or see their candidate.
