There has been a leaked phone conversation between Mr. Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, and David Oyedepo, the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church.



The audio has caused confusion within Obi's media team. The Head of Obi-Datti Media Office, Diran Onifade, has dismissed the audio as a deep fake and a product of the propaganda machinery of the ruling All Progressives Congress.



However, another member of the media team, Keneth Okwonkwo, confirmed the authenticity of the audio but explained in a series of tweets that it was being taken out of context by Obi's opponents.

The audio was released by the online newspaper, Peoples Gazette, and in it, Obi requested Oyedepo's support in obtaining votes from Christians in South-West. He claimed that the 2023 presidential election was a religious war and that these votes were crucial.

“All these are meant to serve no other purpose than egregious mischief aimed at demarketing Peter Obi. If the goal is to create a credibility problem, the ploy has failed woefully.
“Peter Obi has long been on record as the only presidential candidate who has urged the Nigerians electorate not to vote for him on the basis of religion or tribe .
“We will therefore like to advice our beloved Nigerian people to remain focused on the task to take back the mandate we know was freely given to Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed through legitimate means.
“That is more important than to expect those who ran election on forged credentials and even fake Bishops to stop faking. They cannot stop being fraudulent because that is who they are.”

But in a separate statement, a few hours after, Okonkwo …
