The viral video making the rounds on the social media showing an individual captioned, “The Lagos State Deputy Governor’s son Femi Hamzat, joins the obidient rally in support of Peter Obi,” in Lagos on Saturday, has been described as a false.


Meanwhile, security agents have been instructed to fish out the impersonator and for possible prosecution in the court to defend his claims of being the son of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, or otherwise.

Mr. Tunde Alao, the Media Aide to Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Femi Hamzat, made the rebuttal in a statement released on Sunday.

The statement read in part: “The attention of the Media Unit of the Office of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State has been drawn to an online picture of an individual captioned, “The Lagos State Deputy Governor’s son Femi Hamzat, joins the obidient rally in support of Peter Obi” which has gone viral on the social media.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the gentleman in the displayed photograph is neither the Deputy Governor’s son nor his relative.

“The viral message is another mischievous, false and malicious attempt to cause friction between the Deputy Governor and his admirers and loyalists across the Nation.

“Dr. Hamzat has a reputation of commitment and loyalty to the Sanwo-Olu administration and the All Progressives Congress.


“Any attempt to denigrate his character by spewing falsehood about his family will remain a vain and futile attempt until eternity.

“Supporters of the Labour Party should get serious with their campaigns and desist from cheap tactics that would not yield any political gains.

“Meantime, security agents have been instructed to fish out the impersonator and for possible prosecution in the court to defend his claims of being the son of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, or otherwise.”

The supporters of Peter Obi strongly believe in peddling outright falsehoods and propaganda as campaign strategies.

Shatap. How's this a falsehood? Someone that was standing beside me at the rally! You weren't even at the rally so why argue about what you don't know.

I will disable my nairaland account if Obi win 1 polling unit up north

Even Sanwo Olu was standing right behind you while Seyi Tinubu flanked you to the right. Shameless reprobate.

FreeStuffsNG:
Picture of wanted impersonator who thinks criminality is cool.

From the few misguided unpatriotic Igbo youth recruited and misled by ipob terrorist group brand of politics of lies, envy, ignorance, hate , religious/tribal bigotty to burn down Lagos now to these recent recruits by ipob to criminally impersonate in order to promote the candidate of a mushroom party, many of them will be voting from kirikiri las las.

Bro, it was always predictable that IPOBians will put the entire nation off Obi, with their hateful antics, once election campaign formally began.

There is no line they will not cross out of hatred for others. To them this is not a mere election. It is civil war part 2 against other Nigerians they are ultra-desperate to win any which way and using any 'tool' at all.

One thing you can always trust an IPOBian to be is self-destructive. By end of November they would have finished Obi completely.

Damage control but no sane person believes it. Someone that I saw with my two eyes at the rally!

Why should he be arrested? Did he identify himself as the deputy governor's son? Some people took his photos and passed it around, but he's the culprit? So if some random people take my photos and start passing it around that I'm Buhari's daughter, I can get arrested for it? Something is fundamentally wrong with our people in power
