Peter Obi, on Sunday, declared that he holds no grudges against those spreading lies and falsehoods about him.
Peter 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 hardship..
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.
Peter Obi said rather than spreading lies about him, it is better to pay attention to the hardship of the citizens who are crying out in the country.
Peter Obi shows gratitude. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who have sent me good wishes and supported me over the years.
Your encouragement strengthens my resolve to work towards a better society for all, especially the less privileged.
“My political journey has never been about desperation or personal gain. It is rooted in principles and a genuine care for the people..
“To those who spread falsehoods, I hold no malice. Instead, I pray for the blessings of God upon you and your families. May we all work together for the prosperous new Nigeria that is now a clear POssibility ! -PO” Obi wrote.
