The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential elections in Nigeria took to his Twitter page to vehemently deny reports circulating that he had agreed to deputize another politician in 2027.

The reports started circulating following an interview he had granted to News Central Television.

I have been inundated with calls and concerns regarding the interview I granted to News Central TV.

In that interview, I took the opportunity it provided to explain my position in detail. However, some fifth columnists have resorted to propaganda, deliberately distorting the narrative.

Let me reiterate clearly what I said, which is on record.

I do not want to be one of those preoccupied with 2027 while Nigerians are suffering from hunger, poverty, insecurity, and other pressing challenges.

When I was asked about collaboration, I explicitly stated my openness to working with others, provided their intentions were not centred on state capture. I emphasized my commitment to partnering with those who share my vision for advancing Nigeria’s progress.

I also made it clear that I remain committed to the Labour Party, and if anyone wishes to negotiate or join forces, they must disclose their true intentions.

As I have always maintained, I am not desperate to become president, but I am determined to see Nigeria work.

Likewise, I am not desperate for any position at all as I believe I can make contributions as I am already doing without occupying any. When 2027 arrives, if I decide to run for any office, it will not be with those whose sole aim is state capture or merely winning an election. I want them to explain how we will ensure that no child is left behind and how we will bring millions of out-of-school children back into classrooms, ensure healthy living and pull people out of poverty.

My statement was unequivocal, and I am genuinely surprised by the misrepresentation of my words.

For the avoidance of doubts, I never stated at any time that I would be vice president to anyone and it's unequivocal.
I have consistently maintained that I am open to working with those committed to building a new Nigeria.

My commitment to Nigeria remains steadfast, and I even believe it is possible to contribute to its progress without occupying any office as I am already doing. -PO

Ok. The Lagos /Ibadan expressway media and their Northern cohorts have an uncanny talent of changing white to black, and black to white

As a man, resist the urge to say more than necessary.

If you fail, you'd be required to explain and re-explain and unexplain the things you said.

In fairness to Mr Peter Obi, he never said he'd deputize anyone in the News Central interview. He said if there is anyone who can do the job better than him, he'd yield the floor to the person.

It is unclear why it was twisted to him saying he'd like to deputize someone.

As for Mr Peter Obi, he talks quite a lot. This is why things he says can be twisted to something else.

Say less and that would be more impactful.

Ok. Although the explanation is not needed. What he said was clear enough and he didn't have to explain it to anyone. A saying goes: "Don't explain to your friends because they don't need it. And don't explain to your enemies because they will never accept it".

Whoever told this packaged fraud he has any chance of winning any national electoral office in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, why is this fraud always denying?
Peter Obi Denies:
1. Forming Alliance With Former Governor El-Rufai.
2. Allegations of Sponsoring Nationwide Protests.
3. Leading Abuja protest.
4. Endorsing Abure-led NWC.
5. Running four budgets in a year.
6. Involvement in Labour Party's corruption scandal.
7. $150m Diaspora Funding
8. Arresting, detaining El-Rufai
9. Calling 2023 presidential election 'religious war'.
10. Denies releasing manifesto.

I can go on and on and on. Too many denials to mention.

In less than a year from now, Peter Obi will deny ever being the governor of Anambra state. And the most amusing thing is that his unintelligent sheeples keep praising him for all these denials, yet want Nigerians to vote the fraud.

That is what happened when southwest Media carry out your news.

Peter Obi is truly the Man that Nigerians needs

A video to that effect is on Tiktok.

if u like, pretend to be atiku's maiguard, u can only fool ur brethren!

Any which-way u choose, there's no way for you.
If I were you, I'll enjoy my loot!
After all anambala ppl are not complaining!

Obi remains the greatest liar in Africa

APC propaganda in the mud

Propaganda

I watched the video from the beginning to the end, no where did he say he'll deputize anyone in 2027.
Here is the interview:

“You can’t ask people to fast while you feast”

I have said it countless times on this Forum that Peter Obi should limit the way he grant interview to some of those media because most of those interview are sponsor by APC government.

Double mouth and unstable liar. He can’t even say something and stand by it. We can’t make the mistake of electing an unstable character who gets pushed around by his online mob.

Illiterates plenty for 9ja, even in journalism. Always writing nonsense.

Whatever decision you will take in 2027 we will follow it but please limit the interview you grant to some of these APC Sponsor media.

Anytime they come to you to ask you about next election tell them to wait till 2027.

He’s a politician, he grants many interviews. He can’t say less for fear of his words being twisted. Twisting people’s words is part of dirty politics played all over the world.

That’s what his critics want, to box him to a corner so he won’t be seen again.

He has done his job to clarify his statements. It’s part of politics.

Even with video evidence, APC touts and social media nuisances are saying it differently. Imagine if there was no video to the effect?

They probably thought Thièfnubu the criminal needs a course mate in foolishness and dementia. They never knew Peter Obi is miles ahead of APC and Thièfnubu bastards from all over the country put together in tactical leadership exposure and valid speech delivery in one piece.

He said if the person is better, clearly he sees himself as the best man for the job.

You guys love to bend truth.

Read your words again and see who is bending the truth.

Hahaha peter obi looking for a way with style to settle for Senate in 2027 election 😀😆😆

Peter Obi, you don't have to deputize any politician.

Go for it yourself. If God decides that you will rule Nigeria, he will guide you there.

You were clearly the best option amongst the 3 major political parties in the last election.

The Agulu fraudster Bitter Hoebi can never be taken seriously....

He'll soon deny building a brewery and taking advice from a mad man

Spectacular
