FG dares Peter Obi to clarify his position on a leaked audio with Bishop David Oyedepo
The Federal Government has challenged the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to clarify his position on a leaked audio of the conversation he purportedly had with Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide.
Addressing the media on Monday in London, Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, called on Obi to clarify what he meant by saying the leaked conversation was “a fake doctored audio call.”
The minister said that in the aftermath of the leaked audio, Obi came out to say that it was “a fake, doctored audio call.”
Mohammed said: “If it’s fake, it means it never took place. But if it’s doctored, it means there was that conversation, but it was manipulated.
“[Peter] Obi needs to come out and make the clarification on whether the conversation didn’t 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?”
Speaking on his mission to London, the minister said it was to defend the legitimacy of the just concluded general elections and to correct the imbalance in the skewed narrative which had pervaded the air on the polls.
He said, like what he did recently in Washington, he would let the world know that the 2023 election was the freest in Nigeria’s history.
The minister is scheduled to hold conversations and meetings with international media organisations and relevant think tanks based in London.
