London, UK (MandyNews.com)– The ongoing saga surrounding the detention of Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, by immigration officials at Heathrow Airport has taken a new turn as the British government has not issued any apology for the incident. Rumors of an apology began circulating on Thursday; however, Obi-Datti Media, the official representative of Mr. Obi, promptly debunked such claims.
Last week, MandyNews reported the detention of the former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, over alleged impersonation as he arrived in London for a brief visit on April 7th.
The incident sparked an outcry from the public and political circles, demanding a swift resolution and explanation from the British authorities.
On Thursday, Diran Onifade, head of Obi-Datti Media, released a statement addressing the rumors of an apology from the British government.
“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 a satisfactory conclusion,” said Onifade.
In the meantime, Mr. Obi and the LP/PCC have chosen not to dwell on the incident, instead shifting their focus to the legal processes before the Election Petition Tribunal. They remain committed to recovering their mandate, which they believe was overwhelmingly expressed by voters in the presidential election held on February 25th.
As the situation continues to unfold, the public eagerly awaits further developments in both the detention incident and the ongoing election petition process. The resolution of these matters will undoubtedly have an impact on the political landscape and Mr. Obi’s future in the Nigerian political arena.
