Peter Obi, Labour Party presidential candidate, has debunked
reports that he has replied Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, for calling
him a stingy and cursed man.
DAILY POST had reported that Mbaka, at his Adoration
Ministry in Enugu State, declared that unless God ceases to exist, Obi would
never smell the seat of the president.
According to him, it was better to have an old man as
president than a ‘stingy young man’
However, a report of a purported response from Peter Obi had
emerged on Thursday.
Reacting, a statement issued by Obi’s media aide, Valentine
Obienyem on Thursday, said the presidential candidate is not planning to issue
any response to the cleric.
“Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Mr
Peter Obi as his reply to Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
“We wish to state for the record that Mr Peter Obi did not
and is not planning to issue any reply.
“We advise that any medium trying to publish such an
unsigned letter should clarify its authenticity from Mr Obi’s Media Office.”
