Ireti Kingibe, a senator on the Labour Party platform and representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has denied taking part in the ongoing demonstration that began on Wednesday.

She expressed amazement and dismay at what she called a “misleading viral video,” which distributors had altered to show her leading a rally on Wednesday alongside former presidential contender Peter Obi.

In a declaration she released and provided to reporters in Abuja, the female politician explained the “video as a malicious and deliberate effort to discredit her and Mr Obi.”

“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.”

She criticised the people who had created the video, claiming that their goal was to confuse people and paint her as a supporter of protesters. She also threatened to watch idly while thugs destroyed her hard-earned reputation.
