Peter Obi denies audio with Oyedepo, says under pressure to leave Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, addresses the allegations trailing a leaked audio with Bishop Oyedepo canvassing Christians’ votes.

In the leaked audio, the ex-governor of Anambra had allegedly colluded with the founder of Living Faith Church for the support of Christians while stating that the election was a religious war. Addressing the allegations, Peter Obi affirmed that the audio was fake and a distraction from the APC-led government. In a statement via Twitter, he insisted on following through peacefully and legally until his stolen mandate is returned. Peter Obi on Alleged Audio With Bishop Oyedepo “I continue to thank all Nigerians, especially the youths and the Obidients, as they have remained focused on the core mission of a New Nigeria that is POssible even after the February 25, 2023 presidential election. Before, during, and after the campaign, it is on record that I have maintained my commitment and focus on issue-based campaign about a New Nigeria that is POssible, a shift of emphasis from consumption to production, a New Nigeria characterized by inclusion, justice, equity, fairness, and prosperity.
I repeatedly stated that no one should vote for me based on Tribe or Religion, but rather on the assessment of Character, Competence, Capacity, Credibility, and Compassion that can be trusted to create a New Nigeria! 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. The attempts to manipulate Nigerians is very sad and wicked. Our legal team have been instructed to take appropriate legal actions against Peoples Gazette and others. While we call on all concerned Nigerians and the International Community to implore the APC and the APC Led-government to stop their nasty attacks, my focus and commitment to lawfully and peacefully retrieve our mandate to secure and unite our Nation, take Nigeria from consumption to production, pull millions of Nigerians out of multidimensional poverty especially in the North, and jumpstart prosperity through agricultural, industrial, and technological revolution remain unchanged. Elections are over, and we are in court to retrieve our stolen mandate. Let me reiterate that we are doing so through all lawful and peaceful options in line with our legal system and constitution, and I continue to implore all Nigerians to remain peaceful and law abiding. Those fixated with heating up the polity, creating divisions, tensions and hatred within and outside Nigeria should remember that Nigeria is our only country. Our focus should be on how to address the litany of challenges facing us, such as: flawed electoral processes, the parlous state of our economy, unsustainable debt burden, lamentable unemployment and inflation, insecurity, and multi-dimensional poverty. A New Nigeria is indeed POssible, and God will help us. -PO”

“I have never campaigned for anybody” — Oyedepo addresses alleged audio with Peter Obi

Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo addresses the alleged leaked audio with Peter Obi stating that he has never campaigned for or endorsed any political party in Nigeria.

This comes following the viral audio recording allegedly between the preacher and the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi. During his sermon at the headquarter of the church, David Oyedepo revealed that during the recent general elections, he provided prayer and counsel to all political parties, but never solicited votes as claimed in the voice recording. “I don’t speak what people want to hear, I speak what God tells me to say. That is why some people are very angry with me. Nobody has ever told me what to say in this world. No. “I have never campaigned for anybody or speak on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven, Amen. There is no party in this country that didn’t come to me for prayers and for advice. “I advised them, some they don’t take. Those who chose to take it, they see results. Those who said no, they are going about it (laughs). “If you still come again, I will still tell you, it doesn’t change,” he stated.

Kenneth Okonkwo addresses leaked audio allegedly between Peter Obi, Bishop Oyedepo

The spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo addresses the leaked audio allegedly between Peter Obi and Bishop Oyedepo canvassing Christians’ votes.

Following a viral audio allegedly between the Labour Party presidential candidate and the founder of Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel), Kenneth has clarified the claim of instigating a religious war. The actor-turned-politician argued that Peter Obi sought help to push his message across to Christians just as he stated in the leaked audio about a meeting with the Olofa of Ofa — Muslim. Kenneth Okonkwo Addressing Leaked Audio of Peter Obi and Oyedepo

“Our attention has been drawn to the publication of this audio tape of private conversation between @PeterObi and Bishop Oyedepo. It is not surprising that these political criminals are trying to spin the conversation as if Obi was making a religious statement. Firstly, the context of the conversation was aptly put by Bishop Oyedepo when he said “All Nigerians have equal stake in this nation, nobody has the right to claim that he is dashing something to someone”. H E @PeterObi was simply urging the Bishop to help him push this message of equal stake of all Nigerians in the Nigerian project to his people and the christiandom because the politicians of the other party is carrying on this campaign as if it is a religious war. To drive home this point, he informed him that he visited the traditional ruler of Offa, the Olofa of Offa, who is a Muslim, but who advised Obi to get the support of Oyedepo and be assured of his own support. No Politician has ever visited the Olofa of Offa,” he stated. Kenneth Okonkwo insisted that spinning the narration to mean Christian-Muslim competition is intentionally instigated by the opposition party, APC to stir a religious issue. He continued, “It is clear to everybody that the APC political party that has a Presidential Candidate, Vice Presidential Candidate, Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, National Chairman of the Party all from one religion at a time the CJN is a Muslim is the Party that has declared religious war on Nigerians and we must all rise up together to fight this unconstitutional act of religious intolerance of other religions by APC. I went around with Obi on campaign train and never saw him discriminate against any religion. Of course he can’t because his Vice is a Muslim unlike APC. I resigned from APC because of their religious intolerance. Nigerians should disregard any insinuation of religious bigots about this tape.”

Peter Obi begs Bishop Oyedepo to canvass Christian votes in leaked audio

Peter Gregory Obi, a significant contender in the 2023 presidential elections, sought to rally Christian leaders to support his campaign in a leaked audio with Bishop Oyedepo.

Mr Obi, who represented the Labour Party, viewed the February 25, 2023 election as an opportunity to advocate for the recognition of Christians in Nigeria, leveraging the polarisation ignited by Bola Tinubu‘s Muslim-Muslim nomination. To strengthen his appeal, Peter Obi in a leaked audio reached out to Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel) the day before the election, asking him to convey his message to Christians across the South-West, as well as those in states like Kwara, Kogi, and Niger.

In the leaked audio obtained by Peoples Gazette, Oyedepo confirmed that he had already made a move in a previous lecture. He said, “a sickening nation like Nigeria will require a strong and healthy personality. Anyone whose source of wealth cannot be verified should not have access to governance.” Listen to the audio below …

I’ve won an election before without the help of Peter Obi -Alex Otti says

Governor-elect for Abia State, Alex Otti has said that he has won an election in the past without the help of Peter Obi.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Labour Party’s Alex Otti the winner of the Abia governorship election a few days ago after the residents of Abia launched a street protest against the delaying of the declaration of results from INEC. Following his win, Otti mentioned in an interview on Channels TV that it was clear that in 2015 he won the governorship election in the state without Peter Obi’s support. He said, “In 2015 when I ran under APGA, there was no Peter Obi. And we have it on our record that I won that election. At the time we were joining Labour Party, Peter Obi had not joined. It took about a week before called me and said that he purchased the presidential nomination form and he was coming to Labour Party.

“We were prepared to fight the way we fought in 2015. The votes we garnered in Abia could have been had but maybe the margin could have been smaller. That is why it’s always good to acknowledge Peter Obi. He came to Abia about four times to campaign for us. “I think he had done well for us. That is why even in the first election out of the eight House of Representatives seats we took six and sent some people on permanent retirement. “Peter Obi is a great addition to our campaign, but I can tell you that we won an election before in Abia without him.”

Keyamo petitions DSS, calls for arrest of Peter Obi for alleged incitement

Festus Keyamo (SAN), the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, has petitioned the DSS, urging them to arrest and prosecute Peter Obi and his vice, Datti Baba-Ahmed for incitement.

He accused the Labour Party’s presidential candidate and vice of committing “incitement and treasonable felony” through their comments, which he describes as incendiary and capable of causing rebellion. As the chief spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Keyamo believes that in the post-election period, it is important to calm tensions, reduce the temperature, and initiate the healing process. The petition was addressed to the Director-General of the DSS and was dated March 23.

“The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, issued a statement to this effect a few days ago. However, it appears the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed are not prepared to toe this conciliatory path for the sake of peace and national cohesion, whilst exercising their rights to pursue duly laid down constitutional means of addressing their grievances,” he stated. Keyamo pointed out that following the announcement of the presidential election results, Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed, have been appearing on various media outlets and making inciting remarks and allegations about the declaration of the President-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Keyamo ‘s Statement on the Arrest of Peter Obi and Datti “These comments and claims are made, not just within the boundaries of exercising their rights to freedom of speech and the freedom to air their grievances publicly, but they have since crossed the line to call for the outright truncation of democracy by insisting on the adoption of other processes outside the contemplation of our Constitution. “In some cases, their privies have even called for the establishment of an Interim Government. “The latest of such are the comments made by Datti Baba-Ahmed on behalf of himself and Mr. Peter Obi on Channels TV on Wednesday, March 22, wherein he threatened that if the President-elect was sworn in on May 29, it would ‘signal the end of democracy’. “Posing as an accuser, a judge and a jury all by himself, he unilaterally declared the duly elected President-elect as ‘unconstitutional’ and, in a subliminal manner, threatened mayhem if the President-elect was sworn in on May 29. “I also have it on good authority that Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed have camped some youths in a popular hotel in Abuja with the sole aim of instructing them to push out inciting messages everyday on social media in order to cause panic and fear within the federation and to incite people to riot and social unrest. “It is noteworthy that Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed have submitted elections petitions to the courts for adjudication, but their conducts and utterances amount to a subversion of the processes they have instituted in court and a subversion of our Constitution and the laid-down processes for addressing disputes and grievances. “These conduct and utterances are a build-up to something more sinister and it is important you rein them in now! “In the circumstance, I submit this petition in my personal capacity as a patriotic Nigerian to invite/arrest, interrogate and after investigation, if necessary, charge both individuals to court for their conduct which amounts to incitement and treasonable felony.”

Declare Abia, Enugu results now, Obi charges INEC

The presidential candidate of the LP, Peter Obi has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare results for Abia.

Peter Obi has registered his displeasure over the continuous delay in releasing the governorship results of Abia and Enugu States. In a statement released by Peter Obi today 21st March 2023, Obi charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release the results immediately. “Having appealed privately on this matter let me do it publicly, for the imperative of releasing the gubernatorial election results of Abia and Enugu state immediately. “I am aware that the INEC said they are reviewing the collation of the results in these two states. I like to urge them to accelerate their actions as the continued delay is questioning INEC’s intent and the credibility of the election. “It is disheartening that the commission is unable to resolve whatever issues that are holding the release of the results. The records of elections from polling units should not be difficult to calculate if the electoral officials are committed to the integrity of the exercise, and the stipulated guidelines,” Obi said.
