EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a statement released on Tuesday, Obienyem also debunked claims that Obi’s wife, Margaret, had been arrested, labeling the reports as completely false and unfounded.
“As of Saturday, Mr. Obi was in Rwanda attending to important engagements,” Obienyem said. “He has since returned to Nigeria and is currently in Edo State, where he is actively involved in party and national matters.”
