The Peter Obi Media Office (POMR) on Friday, December 5, 2025, refuted “false and malicious claims circulating about an interview purportedly granted by Mr Peter Obi” in which he allegedly made remarks against the Action Democratic Congress (ADC).

“In fact, Peter Obi has expressed significant confidence in the ADC under the leadership of former Senate President David Mark.

“The narrative claiming that Peter Obi made statements "against" the ADC is directly at odds with his documented actions and public statements, which emphasise cooperation and partnership with any group aiming to strengthen our democracy and create the Nigeria of our dreams,” POMR said in a statement.

It noted that, “In his recent public engagements, Peter Obi has consistently highlighted the importance of unity in addressing poor governance and economic hardship, rather than attacking or criticising the ADC. His primary focus is on forming a coalition to combat hunger and bad governance.”

“We urge the public, particularly the leadership of the ADC, to regard these publications as fake news and recognise them as the work of political hirelings intent on distorting facts and distracting the opposition from the vital goal of ending bad governance,” POMR said.
