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.”
Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, is expected to run again in 2027.
