Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has again cautioned his supporters, known as Obidients, and the general public to be wary of individuals using his name or picture to promote fake online businesses and endorsements.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Obi said that despite previous clarifications from his media team, some people are still taking advantage of his identity to deceive innocent Nigerians and make personal or commercial gains.
“I have no connection whatsoever with any of these endorsements or promotional activities,” Obi stated. “Such acts are fraudulent, deceptive, and aimed solely at exploiting public trust.”
He urged his supporters to be vigilant and disregard any online content linking him to profit-making ventures or business deals, stressing that such claims are false.
Obi further explained that only verified and official platforms will share authentic information about his activities. He warned that anyone caught misusing his name or likeness would face legal consequences.
