Peter Obi, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to divert attention from electoral malpractices by casting aspersions on his person. In a statement released on Wednesday night, he addressed the issue of a viral audio recording allegedly featuring him speaking to Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel.
Obi vehemently denied the authenticity of the recording, describing it as “fake.” He stated, “Let me reiterate that the audio call being circulated is fake, and at no time throughout the campaign and now did I ever say, think, or even imply that the 2023 election is, or was a religious war.”
The LP flagbearer accused the APC of making malicious accusations against the Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, and pressuring him to leave the country. He called on Nigerians and the international community to implore the APC and the APC-led government to stop their “nasty attacks.”
Mr. Obi’s focus and commitment remain to lawfully and peacefully retrieve the people’s “mandate”, to secure and unite the nation. As he stated:
“The present attempts by the APC as a party, and the APC-led government through some government officials and agencies to divert our attention from our blatantly stolen mandate is unfortunate and sad.”
