PETER OBI FAULTS LAI MOHAMMED’S ALLEGATION, SILENT ON VIRAL AUDIO
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has faulted the federal government’s allegation that he is causing an uprising in Nigeria over the outcome of the 2023 presidential elections.
It was reported that the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said that Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, claimed that Nigeria’s democracy will come to an end if Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, is inaugurated on Monday, May 29.
The minister alleged that Obi is trying to incite an uprising in the country, adding that the Labour Party candidate is not the democrat that he claimed to be.
Obi, however, in a statement on Tuesday, said the allegations are malicious and fictitious, noting that the minister’s statement is contrary to who he is and his core values.
