The Labour Party (LP) says it is unaware of any apology issued by the British government or any of its agencies over last Friday’s detention of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi at Heathrow Airport in London.
Head of Obi-Datti Media, Diran Onifade confirmed this in a statement on Thursday.
“We would like to state emphatically that we are not aware of any such apology, and have not issued any statement whatsoever, in that regard,” he said.

However, he expressed confidence that the British government would resolve the matter amicably.
Recall that Obi’s associate, Prof. Chinyere Stella Okunna on Wednesday shared a Facebook post in which disclosed that the former Anambra governor was detained for hours at Heathrow Airport by immigration offiicals.
Okunna, who is currently Deputy Vice Chancellor of Paul University, Awka, said that an Immigration Officer told Obi that his identity “was duplicated”.
In his statement, Onifade also confirmed the development.
However, he said that Obi and the party have moved on from the incident.
“Mr Peter Obi and the LP/PCC have since moved on from the incident and continue to be totally focused, on the legal processes before the Election Petition Tribunal towards the recovery of our mandate, which we are firmly convinced, was overwhelmingly expressed by voters, in the Presidential election of February 25th,” Onifade said.
The British government has not issued any statement on the matter.
WHEN THEIR FALSEHOOD FAKE NEWS AND MISINFORMATION WOULD NO T WORK, BUT WILL RATHER FLY FOR DUMMIES DUNCES AND BRAIN DEAD obirodents DENSES.
They are FRAUDULENT in all things. Most UNFIT for any position of authority anywhere on planet earth.
AND THE BELOW MY INITIAL REACTION WHEN THE NEWS BRAKE EARLIER.
“They also said the uncomplimentary treatment he received was “completely unacceptable,” and issued a personal apology.
“Frankly, the Immigration Official’s action – has been appalling – and we are sorry,” Immigration authorities apologized.”
FAKE NEWS FALSEHOOD FALLACY AND MISINFORMATION. THIS IS NOT HOW THE English WRITES.
The official writing of the British government would not be in the wordings and letters of a kindergarten look alike.
THESE FOOLS CANNOT PERFECT THEIR LIES AND DISINFORMATION. WHAT ELSE WOULD THEY MISMANAGE YET WANT TO PRESIDE OVER Nigeria.
Rather what can they manage?
