The Peter Obi Media Office said that its attention has been drawn to “a laughable and shameless call” by President Bola Tinubu’s spokesperson that Peter Obi should defend the document released by the Anambra State government.
The Office in a statement on Wednesday lamented that a “president with such a dirty cupboard that he has been unable to clean it even using hired surrogates is pointing at the man with undented records in all ramifications.
“Peter Obi is on the road, meeting Nigerians, listening to their concerns, and asking for their mandate directly” and that the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate would not be distracted by political surrogates deployed to speak for a president who should be speaking for himself.
“Our campaign is about the people—not political noise. While others hide behind surrogates, Peter Obi will continue to go directly to Nigerians: to hear them, engage them, and present his vision for a better Nigeria.
“The mandate belongs to the people, and it will be sought from the people—not negotiated through proxies.
Let the surrogates talk.
“Obi will keep walking, meeting, and listening to Nigerians. Obi will not be dragged into endless exchanges with political proxies. His focus is on Nigerians—their hardship, their hopes, their concerns, and the future they want.
“A New Nigeria is possible and will be OK,” the statement assured.
