Peter Obi Clears Air On Losing His Phone In Court
….The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has clarified controversies surrounding his missing phone at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja on Tuesday.
A short clip had emerged showing Obi looking for his phone alongside his vice, Datti Baba Ahmed in court.
“I kept it here” Obi was heard saying in the video.
,,,,,,,Speaking through his media aide Tai Obasi, Obi said the phone was never stolen rather one of his aides picked it from the table where he kept it, to keep it safe.
When Obi started looking for the phone, his aide was not there to douse the anxiety.
In Obasi’s words;
“To start with, he (Peter Obi) never lost his phone. What happened is that one of his aides, who usually goes around with him, was with me in the court. Usually, he keeps his phone on the table in front of him.
So when his aide noticed that a lot of people were coming to……greet him and his mind was off the phone, he took it for safekeeping.
“Unfortunately, the aide wasn’t with him when he started looking for the phone. So he didn’t really know it was the aide that kept it.
,,,,,“The whole drama didn’t take up to two minutes before the aide, who went to urinate, came back with the phone. But before, Obi’s anxiety over the missing phone became noticeable. I believe that was when whoever took the video came into the picture.
The videographer, journalist, or whoever took the viral clip only captured the part where he was looking for the phone and started trending with it. They were circulating the report long before we left the court”.
