Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Peter Obi\u2019s media officer has dismissed an alleged deal between the presidential candidate and Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n

There are speculations that Obi reached an agreement with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer ahead of the 2023 election.<\/p>\n

In reply, his camp chastised \u201cuncharitable propagandists\u201d for distorting facts in order to portray their paymasters as relevant.<\/p>\n

The camp accused mischief makers of giving misleading accounts of the issue-based messages of the Labour Party (LP) candidate just to score cheap political points.<\/p>\n

A statement made available to DAILY POST condemned \u201cspin-doctors\u201d for promoting an \u201cutterly false story that Peter Obi met with his PDP counterpart and reached a deal\u201d.<\/p>\n

It noted that Obi\u2019s foreign trip and itinerary were already in the public domain while his meeting in the UK with some Nigerian political leaders was not a secret.<\/p>\n

The media office said propagandists prefer to concoct lies in a desperate effort to clean up their candidate because the Obi-Datti candidacy is the one to beat<\/p>\n

It added that the duo\u2019s messages are resonating with the embattled Nigerian public who are anxious more than ever to reclaim their nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LP candidates are on a divine mission to rescue and rebuild this country and cannot be distracted by any fabrications intended to mislead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Obi\u2019s mission is to rescue Nigeria from the old order, he ought not be seen working for the changing order.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement wonders why people who called ex-Anambra governor a social media phantom wave without political structure to win the 2023 election are struggling to \u201cphotoshop\u201d him with their candidate.<\/p>\n

It said Obi respects Atiku or other leaders because of his sound upbringing as well as style of politics devoid of hate and bitterness which should not be misconstrued.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi-Datti media office is privy to intelligence that many distorted stories will be dished to the public to create confusion in the minds of the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a mission is dead on arrival because the people\u2019s commitment to the Obidient assignment is total,\u201d the rebuttal added.<\/p>\n
