Meanwhile, Obi had debunked reports that the former Anambra state governor was attacked.

Peter Obi's spokesperson, Valentine Obienyem made this known via a statement issued to the press on Monday, September 12.

As contained in the statement, Obienyem branded the report as fake news noting that it was instigated by the spokesperson of the presidential campaign of the APC, Mr. Festus Keyamo.

The statement read:

“Kindly ignore the falsehood making the rounds that he was attacked. May God forbid that even the very thought of such barbarism be visited on him.
“Obi has consistently reiterated his belief that politics should always be devoid of violence. This remains his political credo."

Obienyem stated that Keyamo's comment that Obi may fake an assassination attempt on his own life triggered several reports of an attempt to assassinate the Labour Party's flag bearer.
