The Obi-Datti media team has condemned a recent photo showing the Labour Party Presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, in a post with Simon Ekpa, the pro-Biafran advocate.
The party said that the photo which it described as fake and photoshopped, was a desperate move to drag Obi’s name into disrepute by linking him with the story that Ekpa has become in Nigeria.
Diran Onifade, Head of Media of the team, in a statement stated, “We all grew up being educated that photos tell a thousand stories and do not tell lies as photos are usually self-evident. Yet that was long years ago and long before digital technology took the world like a storm.
“That standard narrative has changed remarkably with dubious minds always ready to deploy it creatively albeit negatively, to create what is non-existent.
“Obi-Datti Media office notes that the scenario is exactly what played out in the photoshopped picture of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, supposedly standing with the Finland-based irritant Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, all in a desperate move to drag Obi’s name into disrepute by linking him with the ugly story that Ekpa has become in Nigeria.
“For clarity, the picture was taken by Obi standing with an admirer on a Virgin Flight on Friday, July 21, 2023. In trying to authenticate their filthy and disgustingly dirty act, they inserted the picture of Aisha Yusuf behind them.
“The memory may be short to forget that Obi was the first to describe the sit-at-home thing as an act being engineered and bred by a criminal that the system has refused to squarely tackle.
“In a related development, APC troll agents have put out a loss leader advert purporting Peter Obi as “providing 20GB free data and N5000 airtime in celebration of his 62nd Birthday.”
