Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has debunked reports about receiving any letter of apology from the British government.
This was over his detention by immigration officials at Heathrow Airport in London.
Peter Obi made this clarification, on Thursday, in the aftermath of rumors started making the rounds that the British authorities have apologised.

In a statement on Thursday, Diran Onifade, Head, Obi-Datti Media, said;
We have been receiving enquiries with regards to a so called apology, purportedly issued by the British Government or any of its agencies, to our Principal Mr Peter Obi, in respect of a routine Immigration engagement with him, as he arrived London, for a brief visit, last Friday, the 7th of April.
We would like to state emphatically that we are not aware of any such apology, and have not issued any statement whatsoever, in that regard. While we continue to examine any dubious or political motive, on the part of the perpetrators of the identity theft, we have every confidence in the ability of the British authorities to resolve the matter, to conclusion.
He said the former Anambra State Governor and the LP/PCC have since moved on from the incident and continue to be totally focused, on the legal processes before the Election Petition Tribunal towards the recovery of their mandate, which they are convinced, was overwhelmingly expressed by voters, in the Presidential election of February 25.
