The camp of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has implored the Labour Party, LP, flag bearer, Peter Obi, to institute a legal action against the Nigerian government over his travails during his recent trip to the United Kingdom.
Recall that Labour Party and close associates of Obi, who were familiar with the former governor’s itinerary, had disclosed that Obi was detained and harassed by the British immigration officers over alleged impersonation and identity duplication.
Weighing in on the issue, Atiku’s spokesman, Daniel Bwala, said the Nigerian government has a hand in Obi’s ordeal.
He asked Obi to compel the Nigerian government to “smoke out” whoever was using him for a smear campaign.
Tweeting, Bwala wondered why Obi would be arrested when the Nigerian Immigration had his biodata.
According to Bwala: “One fact is clear, the impersonator was issued the passport by the Nigerian Immigration. They have his bio-data and details about him.
“Peter Obi should sue the Nigerian government in court and compel them to smoke the man out and whoever may be using him for the smear campaign.
“British government apologized to Peter Obi for illegally serving him a detention note. Can you now put a “respek” on his name?
“We are now waiting for US government to apologize to Tinubu for illegally collecting the forfeited dollars. Asiwaju fans oya start throwing the insults.”
