Arrest Peter Obi protest

Peter Obi alleges a plot to arrest him over the planned Anti-Tinubu protest, vows not to be distracted

2023 Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi has alleged a plot to rope him into and then arrest him over alleged participation in the anti-government protests being directed against President Bola Tinubu.

Peter Obi spoke through his media platform, the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR on Saturday night following a social media post by Bayo Onanuga which accused associates and supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate of being primary brains behind the protest against President Tinubu.

Responding to the claim which it said was part of a plot to arrest Obi, the POMR said:
“It (had) been drawn to the wild, wicked and baseless allegations by one of the Spokespersons in the Presidency, Bayo Onanuga accusing the Labour Partyā€™s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi of being the mastermind of a planned protest in the country.

“The statement even said that Obi should be held responsible for any mayhem that may occur in the protest.

“But POMR can report from good and reliable authority that these unsubstantiated allegations are being orchestrated to arrest Obi, limit his freedom and association and stop his propagation for good governance which they find injurious to their lavish lifestyle.

“Peter Obi by his mien in and out of political office has not in any way shown or been associated with violence even in the most obvious provocations.

“He has always shown even during the electioneering that he is issue-driven as he carries on without calling anybodyā€™s name.

Arrest Plot Against Peter Obi Also Aims To Distract Him from The Issues – POMR

“POMR is also aware that multiple attack dogs have been hired and strategically deployed to ensure that Obi does not enjoy the ear of the Nigerian populace who are keen on hearing his voice on issues.

“These spine doctors and hirelings, to justify their pay, indulge in all kinds of falsehood ostensibly to distract Obi and confuse Nigerians who already see Obi as a soothing balm in the current turbulent political and economic environment.

“All the problems real and imagined created by their insensitivity and lavish lifestyle they have curiously tried to link to Obi.

“Notable challenges of the administration which are a consequence of their actions and inactions like fuel subsidy fallouts, growing poverty in the land, inflation, nepotism and unresolved historical conflicts among others they blame all on Obi.

“POMR therefore wish to urge Nigerians to ignore the Presidencyā€™s cheap blackmail as Obi and the Obidient family all over the country and in the diaspora remain resolute in their search for a new Nigeria that is POssible and would not be cowed or be made to lose focus,” the statement said in dismissing what it claimed as a plot to arrest Peter Obi over the alleged protest.
