Senator Ireti is a Nigerian civil engineer and a politician. She was elected member of the senate representing the FCT in the 2023, during the Nigeria senate elections under the Labour Party.
Senator Ireti Kingibe has reacted to the trend that , she was the sponsor of the protest in Abuja by supplying protesters with food and water.
According to her, the video being misconstrued was recorded six weeks ago during the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) protest.
She said, As stakeholders, including Senators, House of Reps members, and Mr. Peter Obi, we went out to engage with the protesters and address their concerns.
Now, these deceitful individuals are trying to pass off this old footage as current, claiming that Mr. Peter Obi and I were leading protests in Abuja yesterday.
“This is a malicious and desperate attempt to discredit us. Let me set the record straight: Mr. Peter Obi is not in Abuja, and I haven’t left my house since Wednesday due to illness, much less distributed food and water at the protest grounds, though that would be noble for whoever did.
“I condemn this orchestrated attempt to spread falsehoods and cause confusion, using it as the basis to claim I sponsored the Abuja protest.
It is a shameless and irresponsible act that will not be tolerated. We will not stand idly by while our names and reputations are dragged through the mud by these unscrupulous individuals,” the statement said.
