Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi has sued the People’s Gazette for publishing an alleged audio conversation with Bishop David Oyedepo .
NAIJA NEWS NG reports that Peter Obi announced his legal action against People’s Gazette via a thread on Twitter.
Read his words below:
“The present attempts by the APC as a Party, and the APC Led-government through some government officials and agencies to divert our attention from our blatantly stolen mandate is unfortunate and sad.
These have come and continued to manifest in different ways, such as the malicious accusation of the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, the circulation of a fake doctored audio call, and a pressure on me to leave the country.
Let me reiterate that the audio call being circulated is fake, and at no time throughout the campaign and now did I ever say, think, or even imply that the 2023 election is, or was a religious war.
The attempts to manipulate Nigerians is very sad and wicked. Our legal team have been instructed to take appropriate legal actions against Peoples Gazette and others.”
He also appealed to his supporters to continue to be peaceful and lawful.
