The Peter Obi Media Office has distanced him from a young purported to be Obi’s son, Oseloka Obi, wearing a shirt made in Biafra Colours and standing on the Nigerian Flag.
Aside from dismissing it as the height of desperation, the Media Office said that while Obi’s is about six feet, the young man whose photograph was used for the mischief is about 5 feet tall.
The statement reads;
“Everyday, the desperation of the opposition is becoming stronger.
“Their latest mischief is the circulation of a picture, most probably contrived, of a young man in Biafra apparel standing on Nigeria’s flag and passed it as Mr. Peter Obi’s son.
“We wish to state that the said young man is not Mr. Peter Obi’s son, who, by his strict upbringing marked by rigorous discipline understands what civic duty and responsibilities entail.
“Mr. Oseloka Obi is about six feet and taller than his father; while the young man they used for the mischief is slightly above 5 feet.
“The Peter Obi Media Office calls on those seeking elective posts and their supporters to always be guided by the right ethics at all times.”
