NewsOnline reports that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, at the just concluded presidential election, Peter Obi, has said some persons at the corridor of power are deploying different underhand tactics to force him to go on exile.
Obi, in a statement on Wednesday night, slammed the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and some government agencies, accusing them of propaganda.
He said that he is under pressure to leave Nigeria.
The former Anambra State Governor also insisted the viral audio of him and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners’ Chapel is fake.
He said plans are underway to sue the media outlet that released the ‘doctored’ video.
“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 said.
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.
