Former Enugu governor, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani has denied claims that he apologized to the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi over remarks he has made about him in the past.

“This claim is entirely false, misleading, and a deliberate act of misinformation. At no time, in any forum—public or private—did Senator Chimaroke Nnamani make such an apology or utter the words being attributed to him,” Nnamani said in a statement by his media office on Saturday while denying the claim.

He therefore described the statement as complete fabrication, clearly designed to mislead the public and advance a political narrative that exists only in the imagination of its peddlers.

“Senator Nnamani has always spoken forthrightly and stands firmly by his political views and past statements. He does not engage in political revisionism, nor does he apologize for exercising his right to free expression within the bounds of democratic discourse.

“The public is therefore urged to disregard this falsehood in its entirety. Those behind this concocted story should desist from dragging Senator Nnamani’s name into cheap propaganda and outright falsehoods.

“Senator Chimaroke Nnamani remains focused on issues of national importance and will not be distracted by manufactured controversies,” the former governor added.
