The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the February 25 poll, Peter Obi, Tuesday replied the spokesperson of the administration, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
Obi said Mohammed’s claim of treason was unfounded. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed in a parley in the United States had accused Obi and his Vice Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, of treason by inciting the citizens to revolt against the announcement of Bola Tinubu as the President-elect.
But Obi in a statement said the minister’s claim saddens him.
He said, “I’m on record, as always, advocating peace and issue-based campaign, NOT a campaign based on ethnicity or religion.
” I’m committed to Due Process and presently seeking redress in 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. And this is possible.”
