“I Will Never Knowingly Break Any Law” – Peter Obi Speaks On His Detention In UK

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has opened up about his detention at Hearthrow Airport in London, the United Kingdom.

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi was detained and questioned at the UK Airport for a duplication offense which suggests that someone has been impersonating him in London.

The Labour Party revealed that Obi was interrogated for a long time and harassed by London immigration officials who placed him in detention where he spent the Easter holidays.

Reacting in a statement shared on his Twitter page on Tuesday, Obi said although “humans make mistakes,” he has never “knowingly” contravened the law.

He added that he is “not afraid of the lies and propaganda against my person” and has always known that the “journey to a New Nigeria” would be tough.

The LP presidential candidate reiterated the cause of “regaining my mandate” and “transforming Nigeria starting from the North to every part of the nation”.

Obi said, “I never expected the journey to a New Nigeria to be an easy one. The forces, who had over the years, lived off the old order, are bound to fight back, as is being experienced now.”

“If they come at us through land, air and sea, we will respond to them through land, air and sea but, we will remain law abiding and will never give up on the nation. We are on the right path and we will remain committed to the course.

“I reiterate my commitment to building a Nigeria that will be beneficial to every Nigerian. The struggle to reclaim this mandate is not about me as a person but, about millions of Nigerians who placed their trust in me through their votes.

“There may be more mud-slinging from those who are against the emergence of the New Nigeria but, I would never be deterred by the obstacles along the way to victory. I have always lived my life in the most law-abiding manner.

“Sometimes as humans, we make mistakes but, I will never knowingly break any law. I am therefore not afraid of the lies and propaganda against my person. They are part of the journey to a New Nigeria.”

KanyiDaily recalls that the Labour Party had also denied receiving an apology from the British government over the arrest and detention of Peter Obi.
