The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023
Election, Mr. Peter Obi, has dismissed a purported audio recording of a
telephone conversation between him and the Presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, as
product of the endless forgeries the All Progressives Congress has a notoriety
for.
He said this in response to a trending audio recording of an
alleged conversation between him and the influential Christian cleric in which
he was purported to have asked the cleric to mobilize support for him ahead of
the disputed election.
Obi who spoke through the Head, Obi Datti Media Office,
Diran Onifade, in Abuja, on Sunday, said
, APC’s desperate bid to grab and retain power using subterfuge must stop.
He said, “It appears the All Progressives Congress’
desperation to grab and retain power by foul means has refused to go away more
than a month after they have grabbed the election as they planned.
“While we are toeing the constitutional path to retrieve our
mandate, those who have truncated the wishes of the majority of Nigerians have
recoursed to mischief and endless subterfuge to continue to hold on to what
they know does not belong to them.
“From the show of shame in Portharcourt to the drama in the
Ibom Air aircraft, both of which they contrived, they have now moved to the
circulation of a deep fake audio file aimed at promoting religious tension in
the country.
“All these are meant to serve no other purpose than
egregious mischief aimed at demarketing
Peter Obi. If the goal is to create a
credibility problem, the ploy has failed woefully.
“Peter Obi has long been on record as the only presidential
candidate who has urged the Nigerians electorate not to vote for him on the
basis of religion or tribe .
“We will therefore like to advice our beloved Nigerian people
to remain focused on the task to take back
the mandate we know was freely given to Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed
through legitimate means.
“That is more important than to expect those who ran election on forged credentials
and even fake Bishops to stop faking. They cannot stop being fraudulent because
that is who they are.”
