The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has flayed the Presidency over what he described as a futile attempt to cast him in bad light using the American Presidential election.


Obi who spoke through his Media Office, in a statement titled: “Why desperate OBI traducers are kissing the dust?”, signed by his Spokesman, Ibrahim Umar, in Abuja, on Sunday, said desperate propagandists along with their presidential enablers were indulging in the distortion of facts all in a bid to destroy his impeccable image.

Umar said, “For these traducers, it would be a huge omission for a day to pass without finding something to negatively link Obi within the media space, if he and his family members are not being arrested imaginarily (a kite being flown to test waters?), he is being wickedly accused of sponsoring violence or twisting his public appearances in a manner to suite their dubious motives.

“Perhaps the most laughable of such delusions is the Presidency’s effort to ridicule Obi by dragging his name into the United States of America, USA electioneering process, by scandalously linking him with the Republican Party Candidate, Donald Trump.

“We are very much aware of the motive behind these ridiculous comparisons, which is their uncanny way of currying favour so undeserved from the Democrats.

“Nigerians who mused about the derisory and facetious comparison have tried to ask: ‘Will your calling Peter Obi ‘a Trump’, translate to or mean that Tinubu is Harris’?

“Every discerning mind who wants to compare Obi and Tinubu and attempts to equate them with the two American Presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, knows too well the similarities and parallels in terms of morality, transparency, good-standing antecedents and people-focused policies.

“The Presidency by indulging in such clever-by-half comparisons, which are intended to discredit Obi, merely brings to the fore the glaring weaknesses of the incumbent administration and their crassness and inability to discern the realities and especially the pains and pangs their actions and policies foisted on the nation in the past year.

“ Nigerians are not so gullible to be fooled by such empty propaganda.


“It’s even ironic that the spin doctors of a leader who since the early campaign days into over a year as President has remained disturbingly aloof and seemingly incapable of presenting himself and his policies to Nigerians through the media, and who has continued to evade public accountability, are trying to malign Obi who has easily emerged in all ramifications as the most visible, focused and articulate political personality in this dispensation.


“Obi remains a man who has not only become the conscience of the people but also their hope for a new and egalitarian Democracy.

“Rather than strive to market and justify their rusty and anti-people deleterious policies that have put Nigeria and Nigerians in the most horrendous, conditions, they have resolved to convey misleading accounts of our Principal’s activities just to distract the credulous public.

“While we understand the frustration of selling a bad product in a competitive market, the FairPlay rule demands that you don’t de-market the good product by forcefully associating it with the ugly product.

“We know the intention of these trolls and spin doctors, who have also gone ahead to provoke our Principal’s massive supporters across the country and diaspora by twisting his recent media interview to insinuate that he is ready to be Vice President to anyone.

“But that fallacy could not be true of a man who has repeatedly stated in various forums that he is not desperate to be President but desperate to see Nigeria work.

“Such plebian conduct that is utterly devoid of integrity, remains the height of mischief from propagandists, who are envious of the rising profile of our Principal.

“Finally, POMR wishes to plead with Nigerians especially the Obidients within and outside the country and across all the political parties to remain undistracted in their aspiration and desire to see a new Nigeria that is P0ssible.”

....
rather than run the government effectively they are busy throwing tantrum at Obi that has nothing to lose at the moment, wrongfully arresting and charging protesters for treason.
.....

Honestly, Tinubu and those around him are mad men. Clowns  

Imagine using Trump's US presidential debate outing to take a swipe at Peter Obi when Tinubu himself is notorious for running away from debates. 

Tinubu, a so-called first-class accountant, has never participated in any debate, either with other contestants or with himself. He doesn't even know what a debate looks like in his entire life.

I will even prefer Obi to be like trump than to be 0.00001% like Tinubu...

For them to even compare Obi and Trump speaks volume on the respect Peter Obi has, can they compare Tinubu with any American president dead or alive?

Our reality have hit the fan. Fuel price is never coming down.

Guy the reality and fact on ground is that there is suffering and despair in the land and you guys should do something fast about it instead of all this una childish media attack.
Obori

Peter Obi should stop being petty.

The comparison was made by some Nigerians, not the presidency.

Why is he always running from the obvious?

I hope u can read

Timlubuu employed dogs as his media aides.

It is pathetic that those who their babablu was dodging debates are watching USA presidential debates. Shameless creatures.

Unapologetic liar that governed America 1 million times better than your Tinubu who is not a liar ?

Unapologetic liar that fulfilled about 70% of his promises during campaign in his 1st 100days in office and almost 90% when he left office compared to your Tinubu that is doing the opposite of what he promised?

I will rather support the unapologetic liar 1000 times than supporting your Tinubu the so called non-apologetic liar...

Has Tinubu ever in his life engaged in a debate, either with other contestants or with himself?

I'm still yet to see him as that though, how can a president not lead by example?

Then what is he leading the country for?

u be mugu. U no know wetin be presidency?

Lamba to lamba.

No lies told.

Manuscript:
It's quite a pity, I never believed that we will have it this bad no matter who had won the election.

Me too, I swore nobody would be worse than Buhari. How was I supposed to know that Tinubu is this incompetent? A supposed first accountant product 🤦.

If na me be Tinubu supporters, shame no go dey gree me come out for public.

But I doubt those guys have shame.

Bobloco:

Typical Empty Barrels, na talk be una power.

Peter Obi should stop being petty. He should stop being dramatic.

Your post iappreciated!

The aide that compared PO to Trump should have been sacked. The lamba king is best compared to Yahaya Bello, Ortom and the likes.

That aides needs training on how to stay out of the way of super powers.

He has now become a subject of ridicule in the media space and he is not happy. He should have thought twice before accepting to be used as a tool for bringing down another person.
