Former Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has advised those spreading lies against him to channel the energy towards meaningful things than what they’re doing now.
Obi said this against the backdrop of allegations by Mr Bayo Onanuga that Mr Peter Obi and his supporters are the masterminds of the planned national protest coming up on the 1st of August.
But reacting swiftly against the allegations, Obi said on a post he made on X :
“Today, after mass service, personal thanksgiving prayers, and reflection on the blessings of my birthday, I am filled with immense 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.
“To those who have chosen to spread falsehoods and lies about me for their own gain or at the bidding of their paymasters, I am equally grateful to you. I urge you to channel your energy and resources towards helping everyday Nigerians who are struggling to find their next meal, secure education for their children, gain employment, and access adequate healthcare. The future of our nation depends on addressing these urgent needs, not on perpetuating deceit and lies.
“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.
“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”
