Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has issued a strong warning against the unauthorized use of his name and image to endorse various online businesses. Obi clarified that he has no association with any commercial ventures being promoted under his identity.
In a statement released publicly, Obi expressed serious concern over individuals and groups who continue to exploit his identity for personal and financial gain despite previous clarifications from his team. He described these acts as fraudulent and deceptive, aimed at misleading the public and capitalizing on his reputation.
Obi urged Nigerians and the wider public to be vigilant and to disregard any online adverts or claims suggesting his involvement in business deals or money-making schemes. He emphasized that any authentic information about him would only be communicated through his verified official channels.
Reiterating his commitment to transparency, Obi warned that such misuse of his name undermines public trust and called on relevant authorities to take necessary actions against perpetrators of this fraud.
His statement serves as a reminder for the public to exercise caution online and to report suspicious activities that falsely leverage public figures for commercial exploitation.
