The Presidency has sharply dismissed allegations by the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who claimed he was being actively targeted by the federal government ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The verbal exchange signals an early heating up of the political landscape ahead of the next electoral cycle.
