For the umpteenth time blackmailers have resurrected a fictitious and malicious write-, up hoping to use it to dent the rising political profile of the Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, but unknown to them that no matter how widespread and fast a lie travel, when truth arrives, it appears like a distinguishing light.
The first time this fabricated article came on June 14 2023, it came as ‘ *Peter Obi and NADECO/Democracy Day’* Last week it resurfaced in social media as ‘ *Nigerians Must Not Forget!!!, In 1993 Peter Obi was a protege of Arthur Nzeribe in the Association for Better Nigeria, ABN*
Such a brazen sunken story whose motive is well known ordinarily should not deserve our response but for the credulous public that May not be privy to these facts. And apparently, because of the level of distortions of facts in the write-up, that has no author.
Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR is well aware of the renewed activities of some well-mobilized mercenaries given the arduous task of concocting lies to de-market Peter Obi.
The motive which is well known to us is to dent Obi and diminish his rising profile, which stands him out as one of the most outstanding Nigerian democrats today whose belief in the rule of law and non-violence policy remains remarkable.
The writer is unable to appreciate the outstanding principles in Obi, his high riding on uncommon principles which remain verifiable.
POMR would, therefore, like to urge members of the reading public to treat this as a malicious effort that should be sent to the trash
