The Labour Party (LP) says it’s not aware of any apology said to have been issued by the British Government or any of its agencies regarding the incident involving its Presidential candidate, Peter Obi at the Heathrow Airport on April 7, 2023.

In a statement by the Head of the Obi-Datti Media, Diran Onifade on Thursday, he said, “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” .

Onifade who expressed confidence in the ability of the British authorities to resolve the matter, to conclusion, added, “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,” he added.

Earlier  on Wednesday, Onifade said Since Obi’s face was already an international frame, especially for Nigerians, Africans home, and in Diaspora who are likely to be Obidients, the people quickly raised their voices wondering why he was being delayed.

The immigration officials who were also taken aback at the reaction of the people were forced to reveal that Obi was being questioned for a DUPLICATION offense meaning that someone has been impersonating him in London.
