The Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Akin Osuntokun has disowned a press release purportedly issue by me regarding the failure of the Labour Party Presidential Candidate’s failure to pay homage to the Oba of Lagos during last Saturday’s Campaign rally in Lagos.
The rebuttal which was personally signed by Chief Osuntokun, he said, “my attention has been drawn to a fictitious “Press Release” purportedly released by me titled “Oba of Lagos : LP courtesy Visit”.
The said deceptive release claimed, among other things that “We informed Oba of Lagos that Peter Obi wanted to come and pay homage to him before our rally in Lagos but Oba said that we should not come.
The fictitious release further claimed that Oba’s reason for not wanting to meet with Peter Obi was that “Oba is not interested in seeing another presidential candidate except Bola Tinubu”.
“I wish to clearly state that the fictitious release did not emanate from me, and I never had such a conversation with the revered Oba of Lagos or any of his representatives.
“Please disregard the release and whatever it represents. Henceforth, please disregard any other release that does not originate from our campaign’s official communication channels.
“May I once again assure Nigerians that we will continue to run a campaign that is devoid of calumny, and by the grace of God we shall overcome.
