The Presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has replied to the accusation made by the Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, describing it as totally malicious and fictitious, reports ITREALMS,
In a public statement available to ITREALMS, Obi pointed out that:
“In the past few days, I have observed various campaigns of calumny directed at my person, with the latest being allegations attributed to the Information Minister, Lai Mohammed from Washington DC,” he noted.
Obi described as most unfortunate that these consistent efforts to portray him quite contrary to what he is, and core values, are coming from such high quarters with Minister Lai accusing him of “stoking insurrection is totally malicious and fictitious.”
“I have never sponsored or preached any action against the Nigerian state. Those initiating these actions have increasingly used their official positions and agents to make false allegations against me,” he said.
Further, Obi said he is on record as always, advocating for peace and issue-based campaign and never campaigned based on ethnicity or religion.
“I am committed to due process, and presently seeking redress in the Court,” he said.
Obi, therefore, urged those engaged in this demarketing process to stop presenting Nigeria in such bad light.
“Our future generations deserve a new Nigeria, where they can live a secure and decent life like their counterparts in other climes. It is possible,” Obi reassured.
