The presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Thursday, asked opposition political parties to stop spreading fake news.
He accused the opposition of using ‘negative strategy’ to campaign for 2023 elections.
Obi alleged that the opposition has been spreading misinformation on both traditional and social media platforms and blaming it on LP.
The former Anambra State governor made the allegation in a series of tweets on his Twitter page.
He, however, said that his party would remain resolute and committed to an issue-based campaign.
“As we approach the official kick-off of the 2023 election campaign, it has become evident that the opposition has adopted a negative strategy of trolling and insinuating fake news and misinformation in the social media space and blaming the Labour Party, its presidential candidate and their supporters of same. We remain resolute in our commitment to an issue-based and clean campaign.
Recall that Obi’s Media Adviser, Valentine Obienyem, on August 10, 2022, assured that his principal’s campaign would be based on issues and not personality when it starts.
End.
