I’M UNDER PRESSURE TO LEAVE NIGERIA, PETER OBI CRIES OUT

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said he is being pressured to leave the county with attacks against his person emanating from different quarters.

Obi, who said this is in a statement on Wednesday night on his Twitter handle, also added that the leaked audio conversation between himself and the Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, is doctored and fake.

The Punch reports that the former governor of Anambra State, while referring to the recent comments of the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, alleged that the All Progressives Congress and the APC-led government are doing everything possible to “divert our attention from our blatantly stolen mandate,” which he said is “unfortunate and sad.”

He wrote, “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.

“These have come and continued to manifest in different ways, such as the malicious accusation of the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, the circulation of a fake doctored audio call, and a pressure on me to leave the country.

“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.”

Obi also vowed to take legal actions against the online news platform that shared the leaked audio.
