Peter Obi disowns critics of national anthem spending, warns of misinformation

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has distanced himself from a social media news item that suggested he criticized the Federal Government’s alleged spending on the national anthem.

In a statement issued by his Media Office in Abuja on Sunday, Obi’s spokesman, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, clarified that Obi has not made any comments on the new national anthem.

The statement read: “The attention of the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR) has been drawn to a news story circulating on social media that the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has been among ‘detractors’ who have been vocal against the expenditure on the new National Anthem.
