EX Gov Peter Obi's Son Oseloka Reacts To His Viral Photos With A Friend That Set Tongues Wagging

This post is ALLEGEDLY a press statement released by the ex govs son addressing all the comments on the Internet dropped by Naija Netizens which suggests that he is one sided in that way ( You know the way i mean)

Since we posted the viral photos, it is only fair we post this!

In a clip released online, he was quoted saying;

"Dear Nigerians,
I've refrained in engaging In scorn and suspicions directed at me online cause I was not raised to trade in lies or to indulge in false narratives.
I do not do so as a child and I would not begin to do so as a man
Because of my father's involvement in Nigeria's politics, there has been a persistent curiosity and at times, a malicious obsession with me, Why? I do not know

I have no social media presence and no interest in maintaining one so I rarely correct these falses but perhaps it is time I address them
I understand those gossips follows those connected with public life but let me remind you, my father is the one in politics not me.

To assume that my life or choices to somehow political are somehow political statements is a false and childish calculation, it Reveals more about the pettiness of those spreading such narratives than it does about me or my father.

These patterns has become all too familiar, individuals opposed to my father seize ugly photos of me, images that are neither hidden not secret and repackage them with false stories, these are not revelations, they are not expose, they are simply misrepresentations, fictions spurn from pictures , I have seen this happen to others, but seeing this happen to myself repeatedly is deeply unsettling,still I want it to be known clearly that what is been circulated is gossip.

Am an actor/writer by profession, many are surprised given the businessman, entrepreneur and economist my father is, am sure he imagined I might follow that part yet my career is far from what he envisioned, he fully supports me.

Unlike many children of Nigerian politicians, I've never replied on nepotism, I was raised to know that my father's wealth is not mine, that I must build my own life, my chosen part is in theater and filmmaking so far from the world he inhabits,, the industry that embraces the diversity of class, race, sexuality and identity.

I portray characters vastly, different from myself yet someone online used the realms against me and my father, presenting fictions as fact, I trust any rational person can see how absurd this is, more importantly, Nigeria has far greater issues than idle speculation about what Peter Obi's son is doing, our nation still struggles with insecurity, a weakened economy, crumbling Infracture, failing healthcare and politicians who steal from the people they swore to serve and yet for some, the priority is to spread gossips about who Peter Obi's son appears with in a photo, this is a distraction from the real crises that matters to all Nigerians.

The truth is simple, Peter Obi's son appears in a photo with his friends and work colleagues, nothing more, if people wish to invent otherwise, I hope they sleep soundly knowing that they are spreading lies.

Nor I or my father re perfect men and as a father and son, we have our differences but I can attest to his integrity and his relentless desire to lead Nigeria out of this
In our home as a child, the lesson was always clear,face your work, do it honestly and contribute to the good of others, that is what I will continue to do, so to those who continue to those who intend to distract is with lies, I beg, stop pulling attention from Nigeria's urgent problems,my father has my vote, not because he's my father, but because he is the right man for the job, if others wish to go low or invent scandals,or attack me to wound him, they are free to do so but we would go high and we would continue to focus on the good of Nigeria
With Love,
Oseloka Obi.
