Presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has said the purported apology to him by British Government over his wrongful detention at London Heathrow Airport exists only in imagination, stating that they’ve not written him any letter of apology.
Stating this through the Head, Media and Communications of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Diran Onifade, Obi said: “We have been receiving enquiries with regards to a so-called apology, purportedly issued by the British Government or any of its agencies, and would like to state emphatically that we are not aware of any such apology, and have not issued any statement whatsoever, in that regard.
“We would like to state emphatically that we are not aware of any such apology, and have not issued any statement whatsoever, in that regard.
A statement, Thursday, by Onifade said: “While we continue to examine any dubious or political motive, on the part of the perpetrators of the identity theft, we have every confidence in the ability of the British authorities to resolve the matter, to conclusion.
“Mr. Peter Obi and the LP/PCC have since moved on from the incident and continue to be totally focused on the legal processes before the Election Petition Tribunal towards the recovery of our mandate, which we are firmly convinced, was overwhelmingly expressed by voters, in the Presidential election of February 25th.”
Recall that the Spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign, Daniel Bwala, had begun what now went viral, saying the British government apologised to Obi over his detention at Heathrow Airport.
Obi was, on Friday, April 7, accosted by an immigration official at the Heathrow Airport in London, and handed a detention note.
The LP presidential candidate was later released after being questioned for identity duplication, which suggests that someone had been impersonating Obi in London.
Taking to his Twitter account on Thursday, Bwala claimed that the British government has apologised to Obi for illegally serving him a detention note.
He wrote, “British government apologises to Peter Obi for illegally serving him a detention note.
“Can you now put a ‘respek’ on his name? We are now waiting for US government to apologise to Tinubu for ‘illegally’ collecting the forfeited dollars.
