Obi debunks protest video as fake, rubbishes reports of declaring war on northerners

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has denied a trending video alleging that he declared war on northerners, describing the video as a manipulated, deliberate and well-orchestrated efforts by some persons to blackmail him into conforming to some of their nefarious agendas.

Obi who reacted to the video in a post on his X handle on Friday, said the dubious moves by some people had led to the false circulation of a video from his recent keynote speech at the installation of Rotarian, Professor A. U. Nnonyelu in Anambra State.

In a series of tweets, the former Anambra State governor said those who did the hachet job twisted the video to suit their motive to suggest that he had declared war on Northerners.
