The biggest business for blackmailers now is talking about Peter Obi -Fmr LP presidential candidate

Speaking in a statement, Obi said: “It’s obvious that the biggest business for blackmailers now is talking about Peter Obi from every negative perspective.

“Even my solemn spiritual trip to Rome has been twisted into yet another blackmail campaign by merchants paid ostensibly to propagate anything negative against Obi.”

He categorically denied seeking or holding any private audience with President Tinubu, and stated that he only had a brief encounter with Tinubu at the inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City during which they exchanged courteous greetings.

“I have never sought an audience with, nor met, President Tinubu since he assumed office, except about a one-minute meeting at the arena of Saint Peter’s Basilica where I was seated behind and had to respectfully greet him and other dignitaries present,” Obi said.

He added that travelled to Rome on May 9 for the lying in state of the late Pope Francis.

“Immediately after the mass and exchanging pleasantries, I went straight from Vatican City to London, and then back to Nigeria,” he added.

Obi also clarified that Fidelity Bank does not belong to him though he has shares in the bank alongside several thousands of people and was once its Chairman/Director.

“Fidelity has over 500,000 shareholders, none of whom holds a majority stake. What this blackmailer seeks is to harm these hard-working Nigerians and cause them needless distress,” he said.

He fingered an unnamed “self-proclaimed blackmailer-in-chief” as the architect of the falsehoods.

“To those peddling these falsehoods and engaging in blackmail, I offer a simple prayer: May God grant you the virtues of gratitude and understanding to know that we came here with nothing and will go with nothing, and that they cannot profit from their evil ways,” Obi stated, signing off with his trademark slogan: A new Nigeria is POssible.
