Opposition fabricating stories, ascribing them to us, Peter Obi raises alarm

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has accused his opponents of creating misinformation on social media and deliberately attributing them to him and his party.

In a tweet on Thursday, the former governor of Anambra State noted that he remained focused on issue-based campaign and not deterred by such antics.

Obi added that he would also rebuff all such ploys of deceit and calumny meant to create disaffection among Nigeria’s voting population.
