Former governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, has dismissed statements circulating on social media that he apologised to the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his past utterances against Obi.
He declared such a claim as “entirely false, misleading, and a deliberate act of misinformation.”
Nnamani made this clarification in a statement on Saturday by his Media Office.
The full text of the statement read thus:
RE: FALSE CLAIM OF APOLOGY TO PETER OBI
The attention of the former Governor of Enugu state Senator Chimaroke Nnamani has been drawn to a fabricated statement circulating in the media and on social platforms, falsely claiming that he apologized to Mr Peter Obi for alleged past remarks.
This claim is entirely false, misleading, and a deliberate act of misinformation.
At no time, in any forum—public or private—did Senator Chimaroke Nnamani make such an apology or utter the words being attributed to him.
The statement is a complete fabrication, clearly designed to mislead the public and advance a political narrative that exists only in the imagination of its peddlers.
Senator Nnamani has always spoken forthrightly and stands firmly by his political views and past statements. He does not engage in political revisionism, nor does he apologize for exercising his right to free expression within the bounds of democratic discourse.
The public is therefore urged to disregard this falsehood in its entirety. Those behind this concocted story should desist from dragging Senator Nnamani’s name into cheap propaganda and outright falsehoods.
Senator Chimaroke Nnamani remains focused on issues of national importance and will not be distracted by manufactured controversies.
Signed:
Media Office of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani
