Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the recently concluded 2023 election, has clarified his supposed ‘arrest’ at the Heathrow airport in UK by immigration officials.

Peter Obi added that he has no dual citizenship and would never apply for one.
“I am a Nigeria, I do not have a dual nationality because I believe in Nigeria, I have never and I will never apply for citizenship of another country” he stated.
