Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has denied receiving personal jets from “eminent” Nigerians for his campaign.
Recently, several social media reports have alluded that some eminent Nigerians have donated their personal jets for my use during my campaign. In as much as I appreciate the expression of such hopes, I have never received any of such offer.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, said the claims, which have gone viral on social media, are false.
“Recently, several social media reports have alluded that some eminent Nigerians have donated their personal jets for my use during my campaign,” Peter Obi tweeted on Sunday.
“In as much as I appreciate the expression of such hopes, I have never received any of such offer.”
Peter Obi then asked God to bless those “eminent Nigerians” while praying that such remarks do not distract them.
“I pray that those eminent Nigerians mentioned, are not unduly distracted by such social media utterances,” he added. “May God Almighty bless those eminent Nigerians always.”
