The Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR) has dismissed allegations by presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala that its principal, Peter Obi, sought to engage him politically, describing the claim as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Friday, POMR said it would ordinarily ignore what it called Bwala’s “baseless accusations,” but decided to respond to prevent members of the public from being misled.
According to the statement, Obi has consistently distanced himself from individuals associated with what it described as transactional politics.
The media office said the former governor of Anambra State has built his political engagement around advocacy for good governance and national development rather than financial inducement or political patronage.
POMR stated that Obi’s political philosophy centres on persuasion and shared conviction rather than payments to promote political causes. It added that his engagements with Nigerians focus on encouraging citizens to support a collective vision to improve governance and rebuild the country.
The statement further noted that those who identify with Obi’s message do so voluntarily because they believe in the ideals of accountability, transparency and national development.
The media office also urged politicians engaged in transactional politics to reconsider their actions, warning that such practices undermine society and threaten the future of younger generations. “For the umpteenth time, we call on Bwala and others like him to count Peter Obi out of their greed, repent, and join us in the quest for a new Nigeria,” the statement said.
