The Convener “CountryFirst Movement”, Prof. Chris Mustapha Nwaokobia Jnr, has described a statement by Mr. Bayo Onanuga Director, Media And Communication of the Tinubu Campaign Organization calling on “Mr Peter Obi to call his supporters to order that falsehood and disinformation will not win election”, as smacks of mischief and manifest desperation as there is no shred of doubt that the Peter Obi Team is profoundly issues based, manifestly factual, unequivocally civil and completely decorous.
Nwaokobia said attempt to tie all the lies in the social media to the Peter Obi Campaign is not only mischievous but shows the desperation of the Tinubu Campaign Organization to colour and paint Mr. Peter Obi in bad light.
He said this was not 2014/2015 where lies and outright accusations were allowed unattended and not debunked by the then Goodluck Jonathan Campaign organisation.
According to a statement made available to Reporters by Professor Nwaokobia, “this is 2022/2023 and the redemptive masses Movement will not suffer any falsehood against Mr Peter Obi and Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed to thrive. The ideological, issues based and policy driven peaceful ballot based revolution that Mr. Peter Obi epitomizes shall respond timeously to any information that seek to present our Campaign and Movement in bad light.
“At no point has Mr. Peter Obi, his running mate, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed or the Labour Party given instructions or imprimatur to falsehood, malice, lies and or support to any information denigrating other candidates as alleged by the Tinubu Campaign Organization.
