The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Office has revealed why the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi was allegedly harassed by immigration officers at Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom.
The spokesman for the Campaign Council, Diran Onifade, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He said Obi was detained and questioned for a duplication offense, which suggests that someone has been impersonating Obi in London.
According to the LP spokesman, Obi had just returned from London, where he celebrated Easter, and joined the queue for the necessary airport protocols when he was accosted by an immigration official who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside.
Onifade said Obi was questioned for a long time, which was strange for a man who had lived for over a decade in the country.
The statement noted that Obi was saved by the spontaneous reaction of Nigerians at Heathrow Airport, who raised their voices, wondering why he was being delayed.
The immigration officials were taken aback at the reaction of the people and were forced to reveal to those present that Obi was being questioned.
Onifade expressed concern that the implication of the offense was that the impersonator could be committing all kinds of weighty crimes and other dubious acts, and it would be recorded in Obi’s name.
He said, “Since the impersonator is still at large, the scenario is unimaginable as Obi could be implicated in a series of forbidden acts and even be framed in a manner that could be a huge embarrassment to him, his family, his party, the obidient Movement, and indeed Nigeria, where he currently and indisputably remains the conscience of the people.”
The spokesman also noted that his principal had been under all kinds of attack since the February 25th, 2023 Presidential election.
Since Obi was asked to go to court, there have been severe attacks on him from all corners. The statement further noted that even the Federal Government, which directed him to go to court, dispatched the Minister of Information Lai Mohammed to the United States to attempt to de-marketing him and accused him of treason.
“Obi’s telephone line was also bugged when they were possibly looking for information to portray him badly before a section of the country who had voted for him massively,” the statement said.
The Obi-Datti Media office assured all persons of goodwill, especially the Obidients, that their candidate was undeterred and ready to pursue whichever path his creator destined for him in Nigeria.
