Director-General of the Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, has refuted viral reports, claiming that the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, declared his support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
DAILY REPORT NG observed that a viral post had claimed that the former Central Bank governor berated the All Progressives Congress presidential candidates (APC), Bola Tinubu, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar and endorsed Peter Obi
Reacting via his Twitter page on Tuesday, Okupe urged Peter Obi supporters to desist from creating falsehood on social media.
He said: ”Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to HE Gov Soludo concerning quadrupling of investment made by Peter Obi as Gov of Anambra. This statement is not from him or the campaign organisation. Peter Obi only talks about verifiable claims & what he’ll do when in office.
”We also dissociate ourselves from the purported endorsements of his candidacy by HRH Lamido Sanusi and His Eminence The Sultan of Sokoto.
