The media office of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says viral picture claiming Oseloka Obi desecrated Nigeria\u2019s flag is work of mischief makers. <\/p>\n
The media office was reacting to tweets that went viral over the weekend which had the picture of a man standing on Nigeria\u2019s flag, with claims that the person is Oseloka, Obi\u2019s son.<\/p>\n
\u201cOseloka Obi, Peter Obi\u2019s son, standing on Nigeria Flag and putting on IPOB T-Shirt. Today, his dad wants to be President of Nigeria,\u201d a tweet by @OfficialPigo reads.<\/p>\n
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, the LP presidential candidate\u2019s media office described the tweets as \u201cdesperation of the opposition\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryday, the desperation of the opposition is becoming stronger,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir latest mischief is the circulation of a picture, most probably contrived, of a young man in Biafra apparel standing on Nigeria\u2019s flag and passed it as Mr. Peter Obi\u2019s son.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish to state that the said young man is not Mr. Peter Obi\u2019s son, who, by his strict upbringing marked by rigorous discipline, understands what civic duty and responsibilities entail.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Oseloka Obi is about six feet and taller than his father; while the young man they used for the mischief is slightly above 5 feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Peter Obi Media office calls on those seeking elective posts and their supporters to always be guided by the right ethics at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
