Peter Obi Should Explain What He Means By The Leak Audio Was Doctored – FG

The Federal Government has come out to challenge the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to clarify his position on a leaked audio of the conversation he allegedly had with the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Obi should clarify what he meant by saying the leaked conversation was a fake an doctored audio call, because if it is indeed fake, then it means the conversation never happened.

Lai added that Obi must come out to explain whether the conversation took place at all, and which particular part was doctored.

His words, “I need to draw the attention of Nigerians to the recent leaked audio of conversation between the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and the cleric.”

“The leaked audio rattled Nigerians because we heard Obi pleading with the cleric to interfere on his behalf to convince Christians that this is a religious war and they should support him.”

“If it is fake, it means it never took place. But if it is doctored, it means there was that conversation but it was manipulated.”

“Obi needs to come out and make the clarification on whether the conversation did not take place or it took place, but it was doctored.”

“If it was doctored, which part of it was doctored?”

“Is it the beginning, the middle or the end or is it the ‘Yes Daddy’ part of it, or where he said it was a religious war?”

“From the outcome of the presidential elections, you will see that Obi got his vote mostly from areas where he comes from and his religious leaning.”

“This is not good for the politics of Nigeria and it is very dangerous.”

“As a result of this kind of campaign, Nigeria is more divided than ever and people are being heard commenting either based on their religious position or ethnic origin.”
