Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has expressed disapproval of online business owners, individuals, and groups using his identity for personal and financial gain.
Naijaonpoint reports that Peter Obi, in a statement via his 𝕏 on Thursday, titled “False use of my name for online promotions,” stated categorically that he has no connection whatsoever with any online endorsements or promotional activities.
The former Governor of Anambra State cautioned the public to be wary of online content or advertisements purporting to represent or involve him in any business dealings.
Peter Obi further assured that all legitimate information concerning him or his engagements would continue to be released through his officially verified channels.
The statement reads, “False Use of My Name for Online Promotions.
“My attention has been drawn once again to the activities of individuals and groups who persist in using my name to promote or endorse various online businesses and ventures. Despite earlier clarifications issued by my aides, some persons have continued to exploit my identity for personal and commercial gain, thereby misleading unsuspecting members of the public.
“I wish to state categorically that I have no connection whatsoever with any of these endorsements or promotional activities. At no time have I authorised any individual, business, or online platform to use my name, image, or identity for commercial purposes or profit-making ventures. Such acts are fraudulent, deceptive, and aimed solely at exploiting public trust.
“The general public is therefore strongly advised to disregard these false claims and exercise utmost caution when encountering any online content that purports to represent or involve me in business dealings. Genuine information concerning me or my engagements will continue to be communicated through officially verified channels.”
