The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has said that he was not aware of any apology from the UK government in respect detention ordeal st the Heathrow Airport in London.

 

 

 

KOSERENAIJA reports that Obi was detained at the airport by the UK authorities, an incident the Labour Party said was a case of mistaken identity because, according to them, someone was impersonating Obi.

 

 

A statement issued by Diran Onifade, Head, Obi-Datti Media, on Thursday, said Obi has not received any apology from the UK government as widely reported by some media platforms.

 

 

“We have been receiving enquiries with regards to a so called apology, purportedly issued by the British Government or any of its agencies, to our Principal Mr Peter Obi, in respect of a routine Immigration engagement with him, as he arrived London, for a brief visit, last Friday, the 7th of April.

“We would like to state emphatically that we are not aware of any such apology, and have not issued any statement whatsoever, in that regard.

 

“While we continue to examine any dubious or political motive, on the part of the perpetrators of the identity theft,

 

 

We have every confidence in the ability of the British authorities to resolve the matter to its conclusion.

 

“Mr Peter Obi and the LP/PCC have since moved on from the incident and continue to be totally focused, on the legal processes before the Election Petition Tribunal towards the recovery of our mandate, which we are firmly convinced was overwhelmingly expressed by voters, in the Presidential election of February 25th,” the statement added.
