BREAKING: Peter Obi Responds To Lai Mohammed’s Accusations Against Him | READ DETAILS

Sequel to the accusation of treason levelled against Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, by the Minister for Information, Lai Mohammed, the former has responded.

ALL FACTS NEWSPAPER had reported that Lai Mohammed while in Washington DC, accused Peter Obi of commiting treason and insurrection, adding that Obi “is not the democrat that he claimed to be;  and a democrat should not believe in democracy only when he wins the election“. READ HERE

Responding, Peter Obi on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, described Mohammed’s accusations as malicious and fictitious.

Obi maintained that he has never discussed nor encouraged anyone to stand against the Nigerian state, insisting that he has always preached and sponsored peace.

The former Anambra state governor also recalled that he engaged in issue-based campaigns and never for once campaigned based on ethnicity nor religion and therefore wondered why those in high quarters like Lai Mohammed are keen on painting a different picture from his (Obi’s) core values.

Obi restated his commitment on following due process of challenging the presidential election result and advised those engaged in the demarketing process to stop presenting Nigeria in bad light, adding that “Our future generations deserve a new Nigeria, where they can live a secure and decent life like their counterparts in other climes.”

READ PETER OBI’S TWEET:

In the past few days, I have observed various campaigns of calumny directed at my person, with the latest being allegations attributed to the information Minister, Lai Mohammed from Washington DC.

It is most unfortunate that these consistent efforts to portray me quite contrary to what I am, and my core values, is coming from such high quarters. Minister Lai accusing me of stoking insurrection is totally malicious and fictitious.

I have never discussed or encouraged anyone to undermine the Nigerian state; I have never sponsored or preached any action against the Nigerian state. Those initiating these actions have increasingly used their official positions and agents to make false allegations against me

I am on record as always, advocating for peace and issue-based campaign and never campaigned based on ethnicity or religion. I am committed to due process, and presently seeking redress in the Court.

I urge those engaged in this demarketing process to stop presenting Nigeria in such bad light. Our future generations deserve a new Nigeria, where they can live a secure and decent life like their counterparts in other climes. It is possible. -PO
