Obienyem disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Monday, saying Obi was hale and hearty.<\/p>\n

Part of the statement read, \u201cKindly ignore the falsehood making the rounds that Obi was attacked. May God forbid even the very thought of such barbarism be visited on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi has consistently reiterated his belief that politics should always be devoid of violence; this remains his political credo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall continue to entrust Mr Peter Obi into the protection of the Almighty while he ensures he is adequately protected from seeing through the work of re-building Nigeria that providence has entrusted unto him.\u201d<\/p>\n
