And so Peter Obi in response to such criticisms, took to his official X account to state that it has come to his attention and he strongly denounce the distortion of facts surrounding his actions and statements during his time as Anambra State governor, particularly concerning the ongoing demolitions for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway.

Peter Obi then stated that;
