Reacting to the controversy, Obi’s media aide, Valentine Obienyem, in a statement debunked the claims, stressing that the photos do not feature Obi’s son.
The statement, titled “Fake Picture, False Claim: Obi’s Integrity Remains Untouched,” read:
“The picture currently being circulated is not that of Mr. Peter Obi’s son. Having searched every corner of his life and found nothing incriminating, mischief-makers resorted to posting this false image, claiming it to be his son. Let it be clear: this is not his son. They should look elsewhere for the scandal they have fruitlessly hunted for years.”
