The media adviser to the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Valentine Obienyem has debunked a statement credited to his principal in which he was quoted to have said “serious leaders do not go on rest”.

According to Obienyem, Obi never said such, and those spreading the alleged statement are only trying to drag him into every controversy and distract him from the mission of saving Nigeria.

Naija News understands the LP presidential candidate had visited the Muslim community in Anambra State to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr with them.

He was asked by newsmen why he didn’t take time to rest.

According to Obienyem in a statement on Tuesday, Obi’s response was: “Well, those who need rest should have rest. Those of us who don’t need rest should continue to work.”

However, he said Obi’s statement was misinterpreted by some sections of the media who reported him as saying that “no serious leader will go on rest”.

“For me, politics is not about the office; it’s about helping to get a better society. If you are in politics because of office, it’s wrong. Politics is about the good of the society. As I am leaving here, I am going to the hospital to support people in the hospital. That’s what politics is about,” Obienyem quoted Obi as saying.

“Well, those who need rest should have rest. Those of us who don’t need rest should continue to work,” Obi added.

While blaming some media outfits for twisting Obi’s statement, Obienyem submitted that the interpretation was part of the ploy to make sure “the former Anambra state governor is dragged into every controversy to distract attention and remove his focus on the issue and on the mission of rescuing Nigeria”.

Sensible Nigerians knew it was a fake news from Tinubu's camp to tarnish Obi's name.

Peter obi is the biggest name in Nigerian politics today.
They say he came third but they ignore the second to attack the third, even though the second is also in court for the same reason.

The reason is that they know who won the presidential election.
They know he is fearless, courageous and loved by the people..
They know he is out to reclaim his mandate.
They know he is the pilot of the new Nigeria whose time has come.
They know he is the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Clear road for the people's man. PODATTI is coming.

😎

We all know that Peter Obi never made such statement.

It was Tinubu Urchîns that concocted, fabricated such fallacy against the President elect, not the one selected by INEC

Usual 0bing0 running away from their lies.

Peter Obi is every shade of bitterness and anguish


He removed Labour party acting chairman and 4 Yoruba executive members and even they were removed by igbos at Asaba, Peter Obi removed Salako the Labour party chairman and the Yoruba executives in Lagos state and replaced them with igbos and South south, 90% of party agents in Lagos were igbos and South south

Busted

Hypocrites.
You all were silent during "Yess daddy fiasco and UK airport scandal" cos Obi foot soldiers will roast you all if you speak the truth.
Media aides my foot.

OBI is a great man.

Even if he did nko, what is bad in that brotherly advise to our lazy and no show leaders, small thing dem don run go obodo oyinbo go spend task payers money.

Obi keep using your stamina to serve the people in the best way you can.

Ok, noted.

Why don't obi attack this people back with fake videos and audio and deep fake

This is getting out of hand

You will see how his slaves will claim they knew it was fake story when in actual sense,when the statement was said to have been made they defended it and praised OBI for the statement.
