Foreign Affairs Minister Debunks Rumour He Was Sent To The US To Blackmail Peter Obi

Geoffrey Onyeama, the minister of foreign affairs, has refuted the claim that the All Progressives Congress suspended him for turning down a mission to blackmail Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the presidential election scheduled for February 25, as untrue.

Onyeama was allegedly supposed to do the work in the United States, according to the social media rumor.

Francisca Omayuli, the spokeswoman for the ministry of foreign affairs, reportedly asked the public to ignore the accusation in a statement on Saturday.

The statement read, “The attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been drawn to a story circulating on social media that the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Geoffrey Onyeama, has been suspended by his party, the All Progressives Congress because as alleged, ‘he was sent to the United States to blackmail Peter Obi, and he declined the request’.

“The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs states that there is no iota of truth to the mischievous allegations.

“The general public is, therefore, called upon to disregard the story.”
