Protest Video Featuring Me Is Completely Misleading-Kingibe

Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the Labour Party, has categorically denied participating in the ongoing protests that began on Wednesday. She expressed outrage and disappointment over a manipulated viral video that falsely depicted her and former presidential candidate Peter Obi leading a protest on Wednesday.

In a statement released on Friday, Kingibe described the video as a “malicious and deliberate attempt” to tarnish her reputation and that of Obi. She emphasized, “I am appalled and disgusted by the blatant lies and misinformation being spread by mischief-makers!”

“I am shocked and outraged by the blatant lies and misinformation being spread by mischief-makers!

“The video being circulated is from over six weeks ago, during a Labour Party NWC meeting when the NLC was protesting outside the Labour Party office.

“As stakeholders, including Senators, House of Reps members, and Mr Peter Obi, we went out to engage with the protesters and address their concerns.”

According to her, deceitful individuals were bent on passing off the old footage as current, claiming that, “Mr.@PeterObi and I are leading protests in Abuja yesterday.”

“Let me set the record straight, Mr Peter Obi is not in Abuja, and I haven’t left my house since Wednesday due to illness, much less distributed food and water at the protest grounds, though that would be noble for whoever did.”

Senator Kingibe denounced the masterminds behind the misleading video, accusing them of seeking to sow confusion and falsely portray her as a supporter of the protests. She vowed not to stand by and allow her reputation, built through hard work and dedication, to be maliciously tarnished by unscrupulous individuals.
