Peter Obi’s son, Oseloka, has responded to viral photos allegedly showing him with a gay partner, dismissing the claims as lies and political mischief
In a press statement released on Thursday, August 21, 2025, Oseloka said he has long avoided engaging with false stories about him but felt it was time to set the record straight.
“Dear Nigerians, I have refrained from engaging with the vitriol, scorn, and suspicion directed at me online because I was not raised to trade in lies or indulge in false narratives. I did not do so as a child, and I will not begin now as a grown man,” he wrote.
He noted that his father’s political career had fueled years of malicious curiosity about his personal life:
“Because of my father’s involvement in Nigerian politics, there has been a persistent curiosity and, at times, malicious obsession with me. I have no social media presence and no interest in maintaining one, so I rarely correct these falsehoods. But perhaps it is time I address them.”
Oseloka described the images as deliberate misrepresentations.
“This pattern has become all too familiar: individuals opposed to my father seize ordinary photos—images that are neither hidden nor secret—and repackage them with false stories. These are not revelations or exposés. They are simply fiction spun from pictures.”
Clarifying his career path, he explained that as an actor and filmmaker, he often portrays diverse characters far removed from his personal life.
“My chosen path is in theatre and filmmaking… yet some online use these roles against me and my father, presenting fiction as fact. I trust any rational person can see how absurd this is.”
He urged Nigerians to focus on the country’s real challenges instead of manufactured scandals:
“Nigeria has far greater issues— insecurity, a weakened economy, crumbling infrastructure, failing healthcare. Yet, for some, the priority is to spread gossip about who Peter Obi’s son appears with in a photo. This is a distraction from the real crises that matter to all Nigerians.”
Reaffirming his support for his father, he wrote:
“My father has my vote, not because he is my father, but because he is the right man for the job. If others wish to invent scandals or attack me to wound him, they are free to do so. But we will go high, and we will continue to focus on the future of Nigeria.”
He concluded with a call to end the lies:
“So, to those who attempt to distract us with gossip, I beg you—stop pulling attention away from Nigeria’s urgent problems. I will continue to face my work, do it honestly, and contribute to the good of others.”
