Audio Leak: FG Piles More Pressure On Obi

The Federal Government is piling more pressure on the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi over the leaked audio of the phone conversation between him and founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo.

GWG.ng had reported Obi as saying that the audio was doctored to show him as a religious bigot as he claimed that he had never campaigned on the basis of religion or tribe but on character, competence and capacity.

However, at a press briefing in London, Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed piled more pressure on Obi over the audio leak asking him to explain what he claimed as discrepancies in his reaction.

He said:

“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. In the aftermath of the leaked audio, Obi came out to say that it was a fake, doctored audio call.

“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?”

Mohammed in putting pressure on Obi said that the audio leak corroborated the claim that Obi pegged his campaign on religion and ethnicity.
