Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Peter Obi has refuted stories making the round that he scored 45 million votes at a presidential primary congress of the Party.
Describing both the purported congress and the votes ascribed to him as fake and imaginary, Obi urged Nigerians to disregard the story as a fraud.
These reactions were contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Peter Obi Media Office.
it said: “The attention of the Peter Obi Media Office has been drawn to certain 45m primary vote figures currently circulating on social media and various news platforms, purporting to be the breakdown of official results from an imaginary primary by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC ascribed to Mr Peter Obi.
“We wish to state categorically that these figures are entirely false, fabricated, as such, the primary never took place and no figure was generated from any process.
“We urge the general public, party supporters, and members of the press and the public to completely disregard these misleading statistics.
“Official and accurate information regarding Mr Peter Obi’s engagements and political processes will always be communicated through our verified and authorised channels and appropriately signed.
“Those behind this fraudulent figure attribution to Peter Obi are looking for partners in their fraud but they should look elsewhere not with Peter Obi,” the statement added. Sunrisereporters.
