The attention of the Obi-Datti Media Campaign office has been drawn to the falsehood in circulation that the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi said in his outing in Kaduna state on Monday that he has lifted 439million Nigerians out of poverty.
Ordinarily this is the kind of falsehood that should not merit any response given the mischief in it but for the gullible Nigerians who have even been responding to such mindless lies.
Nigeria population is presently estimated to be slightly above 200m which the LP standard bearer has used severally in his statements and would not have for any reason given such figure about Nigeria.
Those who bordered to watch the audiovisual of that outing know that Obi’s use of such figure was in reference to China lifting their population out of poverty.
Obi-Datti Media office is however not oblivious of the poor outing of opponents in the Kaduna event where the LP flag bearer had an excellent performance as usual, enough to attract envy from the under performing rivals.
We want to therefore reiterate for umpteenth times that figures used by Obi to buttress his points are out of in-depth research work and are verifiable.
Again, we enjoin those yet to embrace the Obidient Movement’s laudable mission of taking back our country to do so immediately and be part of the huge history in making.
