Labour Party (LP) said its presidential candidate Peter Obi is being impersonated in London which forms the basis of his detention.
According to the Labour Party, Obi, just back from London, United Kingdom where he celebrated Easter, confirmed that he was harassed by London immigration officials and placed for detention but for the spontaneous reaction of Nigerians at Heathrow Airport.
Obi-Datti Media office said they can confirm that the LP presidential candidate in the February 25 poll arrived at the Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria on Good Friday and joined the queue for the necessary Airport protocols when he was accosted by immigration officials who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside. He was questioned for a long time and it was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country.
A statement issued by the Head, obi-Datti Media, Diran Onifade said since Obi’s face was already an international frame, especially for Nigerians, Africans home, and in Diaspora who are likely to be Obidients, the people quickly raised their voices wondering why he was being delayed.
