The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the recently concluded February 25 general election, Peter Obi has dismissed an alleged audio recording of a telephone conversation between him and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church as a product of the endless forgeries of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Obi in a reaction to the audio recording in which he was alleged to have asked the cleric to mobilize support for him ahead of the disputed election warned that the APC is desperate to grab and retain power by creating lies.
He insisted that APC’s latest move has failed woefully.
The former Anambra State governor spoke through the Head, of the Obi Datti Media Office, Diran Onifade, in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday.
Part of the statement read, “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.”
He advised Nigerians to remain focused on taking back the mandate that was freely given to Obi and Baba-Ahmed via legitimate means.
