Valentine Obienyem, Media Adviser to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said that his principal did not respond to comments made about him by the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu (AMEN), Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka.
There had been reports in the media on Thursday, over Fr. Mbaka's comments describing Obi as a ‘stingy man’ which drew the attention of social media users who knocked the cleric for his statement.
However reports in a section of the media had it that the former governor of Anambra State issued a response to Mbaka.
But in a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday, Obienyem disclaimed that Obi responded to the cleric’s comment, adding that his principal will not issue any statement concerning such matter in the future.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Mr Peter Obi as his reply to Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
“We wish to state for the record that Mr Peter Obi did not and is not planning to issue any reply.
“We advise that any medium trying to publish such an unsigned letter should clarify its authenticity from Mr Obi’s Media Office.”
