June 16, (THEWILL) – The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has dismissed purported comment credited to him as response to a statement made earlier by the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka.
Valentine Obienyem, the Media Adviser to the former Anambra State governor, said his principal did not, and would not respond to comments made about him by Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka.
THEWILL reports that Mbaka had called out Obi, describing him as a stingy man without a generous spirit, adding that Obi is too stingy to emerge Nigeria’s President.
Mbaka warned those supporting Obi to stop wasting their money, as the man is not prepared to be president going by the austere life he lives.
However, in a statement on Thursday, Obienyem said Obi has not responded to the cleric’s comment and would not issue any statement concerning such in the future.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Mr Peter Obi, as his reply to Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
“We wish to state for the record that Mr Peter Obi did not and is not planning to issue any reply.
“We advise that any medium trying to publish such an unsigned letter should clarify its authenticity from Mr Obi’s Media Office.”
