Those that know Peter Obi from his days as Anambra Governor know what a bigot he is. They won't be surprised one bit by this phone leak.

Peter pitted Anglicans against Catholics. Governorship elections in Anambra then was a full fledged religious war.

The highly manipulative desperate bigot didn't take long to show his full colours. Nigeria would have been in a full blown religious war if that mkpi had won.

The ambitious bigot divided us so much along tribal and religious lines.

May Peter "Yes Daddy" Obi never rule Nigeria. Isee!

While Tinubu, a notorious Narcotic drug trafficker is a nuclear weapon that have just been dropped off in Nigeria

Haven't you notice that since he was announced by INEC as president elect, the country have known no peace

MiztaDynameek:
All these people without sense like you. Always believing any rubbish news brought to you. Some days ago you same people were talking about where Tinubu was. Now you just believe what you read from people's assumption when the same president elect has issued no statement regarding that.

Well I don't blame you brainless people. If you can believe Buhari is Jubril of Sudan then there is nothing you can't believe.

Less I forget, I hope if I write somewhere that your mother is a prostitute I nack some years back, you will believe and go and kill your mother abi.

Brainless citizens from where I don't know hiding under Nigeria and giving it a bad name.

You sure say you get sense so

You mean you can't make a simple comment without insults

Jollyjustcome:
The FBI is alarmed and dismayed by the use of its name for evil propaganda and disinformation, and warns APC Propagandist to desist from using its name or equipment for criminal activity.

An OBIdients has contacted the agency via email and the response was a repugnant condemnation of the APC.

An APC Propagandist had claimed the agency's equipment was used to verify Peter Obi's voice. But an email we have received from the agency debunked the info.

Let us warn APC tgat OBIDIENTS are all over the world and we are tech savvy. We would be watchful and resist attempts to sell lies to Nigerians.

The phone call is FAKE and no FBI equipment verified the fairness of the audio. APC Propagandist must be careful. The FBI could mark them up for criminal investigation and prosecution.

The APC is notorious in churning out lies, falsehood and propaganda

It's inbuilt in them. The current minister for information Lai Mohammed is being referred to lie Mohammed.
Their president elect is a Notorious narcotic drug trafficker, with no verifiable ancestry and educational background. He also owns TVC and The Nation Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda newspaper where propaganda is being Cooked and churned out on a daily.

PlayerMeji:
so we should leave the content and begin to look for how it was leaked?

NO...

We must talk about the message ni... una no go GASLIGHT us again

Sane individuals know that the said audio is fake

But, APC in their usual characteristic manner of spreading lies, fake news and propaganda are busy creating unnecessary noise about it trying to distract Nigerians from the electoral fraud they perpetuated

You don't expect the US president to congratulate an indicted notorious Narcotic drug trafficker who is a beneficiary of a flawed election process

During the build up to the 2015 general election, the APC did threatened to form a parallel government if the outcome of the election doesn't go in their favour.

Jonathan, the then president never sent the DSS to arrest leaders of the APC for treason

But today, the APC can't even take a dose of their own medicine

naijapips04:
Obi is not different from Tinubu. Obi is a divisive, hungry manipulative politician. He will never rule Nigeria. The sooner you accept that the better for you.

I am not holding brief for any one but the is that Tinubu is a notorious Narcotic drug trafficker city of Chicago has ever known. Tinubu and APC with their demonic Muslim Muslim ticket ran the most tribal, ethnic and religious divisive campaign ever witnessed on planet Earth

naijapips04:
Obimorons are the most educated morons I have come against. Accept you supported a bigot. Accept Tinubu won the election and move on.

You are really funny for referring to Peter Obi an ethnic bigot

The truth remains that APC, Tinubu with his demonic Muslim Muslim ticket ran the most tribal, religious and ethnic divisive campaign ever witnessed in this country

BossLA:
Dear Nigerians,

Are u still wondering why Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) made this statement in 2015👇
"my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian"

APC was ready to burn down this country in 2015 if things didn't go their way.

They know Obi won the election and he will win in court but instead of Obi to have it, let the country burn

God help Nigeria because we will defeat the few evil ones. Its just a matter of time

We have not forgotten how they threatened to form a parallel govt if the election doesn't go their way

Sangoamadioha1:
Check his Twitter page where he was justifying the call. Rest abeg, your people have moved on from denying the authenticity to defending the tape. You are behind.

You are actually the one behind for believing that obviously fake audio

Monogamy:
Imagine this guy and his supporters seeking for military to take over.

No wait, are they normal?

The truth is that Tinubu and APC are the ones selling this phantom interim government propaganda

Tell DSS to name those behind it since they said they have the list of politicians sponsoring the phantom interim government

The recent petition filed by the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, at the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja to challenge the victory of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 election has again thrown up the much reported forfeiture of $460,000 by the former governor of Lagos State over an alleged drug case in the United States.

Tinubu’s drug case is among the key grounds for which Obi is seeking his disqualification in the election petition the former Anambra State governor filed against the declaration of the former Lagos State governor as the President-elect following his victory at the February 25 presidential election.


In his petition, Obi argued that Tinubu, “at the time of the (presidential) election, was not qualified to contest the election.”

He stated that the former Lagos State Governor was fined $460,000 for an alleged offence involving dishonesty, particularly narcotics trafficking imposed by the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in case No:93C 4483 between the US and Tinubu. He added that for this reason, the votes purportedly recorded for Tinubu at the presidential election were wasted votes and ought to be disregarded.

Since Obi filed the petition, the members of the Obidient movement have fully resurrected the issue of the forfeiture of $460,000 by Tinubu. All over the social media, the issue is a recurring decimal as they argue that it is a veritable ground for the tribunal to annul Tinubu’s victory.

The matter got to a head last week when in a tweet, a former human rights activist, Ayo Obe, taunted them, saying the move by Obi to sack Tinubu on account of the forfeiture case cannot stand, being that it is now statute-barred.

Obe cited Section 137 (1)e) of the Constitution that said a Nigerian cannot be elected president within 10 years of a conviction for offences brought by the Code of Conduct Bureau.

“A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if within a period of less than ten years before the date of the election to the office of President, he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of the contravention of the Code of Conduct,” the section said.

While responding to Obe last weekend, the Director of Media in the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, argued that his principal’s alleged drug case in the US happened more than 10 years ago and cannot, therefore, be used as a basis to truncate his victory at the polls last month.

“The Obi supporters don’t read. They live in a cocoon of falsehood and contrived propaganda,” Onanuga said.

However, Tinubu’s traducers have insisted that Section 137 (1)(d) disqualifies anyone who had been fined for any offences in the past from becoming president.

They also argued that the subsection did not give any timeline under which a convict can be released to run for Nigeria’s presidency.

The subsection specifically reads: “A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if he is under a sentence of death imposed by any competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria or a sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by any court or tribunal or substituted by a competent authority for any other sentence imposed on him by such a court or tribunal.”

Opponents of the former Lagos State governor have also pointed out the January 17, 2014 judgment of the Supreme Court where it defined forfeiture as punishment for an offence under the Nigerian criminal statutes may compound his problem.

The judgment, which was delivered in the case of Mohammed Abacha versus the Federal Republic of Nigeria, by the current Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, while serving as a Supreme Court justice, declared that forfeiture means “the loss of a right, privilege or property because of a crime”.

“The word ‘forfeiture’ means the divestiture of property without compensation. The loss of a right, privilege, or property because of a crime, breach of obligation, or neglect of duty,” Justice Ariwoola held in a majority decision.

He noted that any person who has forfeited property on the basis of a crime cannot be entitled to indemnity, adding that forfeiture is a form of punishment, and that there is no indemnity in Nigeria’s criminal procedure.

While many legal experts have argued that the Tinubu’s case is quite different from that of Mohammed Abacha, others stated that the peculiarities of the case would need the court to determine if the US court’s ruling has relevance in Nigeria.

Though the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, did not include the Chicago drug case in their petitions challenging the declaration of Tinubu as President-elect, the party’s Presidential Campaign Council had in January threatened to drag Tinubu to court.

The party’s campaign council had argued that he should not participate in the February 25 presidential election on the premise of an alleged criminal case of trafficking in drugs that led to his subsequent forfeiture of the sum of $460,000 to the US authorities.

The spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, who spoke in Abuja, had expressed the determination of the campaign council to file for an accelerated hearing in the case in the interest of the nation.

According to him, Nigeria’s laws do not permit an alleged convict, let alone an individual convicted on account of the international crime of trafficking in narcotics, to stand election at any level, adding that Nigeria cannot afford the embarrassment of having an alleged convict hold office at any level.

He added that the campaign council would ask the court to “declare Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC, having been allegedly convicted, as ineligible to contest the Presidential election under section 137 (1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution;

“Compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately delist Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the presidential candidate of the APC or any other political party for that matter and expunge his name from all materials and documents related to the 2023 presidential election.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the United States Court in sentencing Tinubu ordered, ‘that the funds in the amount of $460,000 in the name of Tinubu represents proceeds of alleged narcotics trafficking or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S.C. S1956 and 1957 and therefore these funds are forfeited to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. S881(a)(6) and 18 U.S.C S981.’

“From the declaration of the court and the sentencing, it is clear that Tinubu was summarily convicted by the court, took no step to challenge the judgment but acceded to the forfeiture of the $460,000 found to be the proceeds of narcotics trafficking,” it stressed.

Ologbondiyan further noted that “Nigeria is a signatory to such international conventions and therefore is mandatorily obligated to implement the consequential effect of the conviction imposed on Tinubu by a court of competent jurisdiction in the criminal case of trafficking in narcotics.

“The import of the foregoing is that under the 1999 Constitution (as amended), having been so convicted and fined and having acceded to the sentencing by way of forfeiture of $460,000 and have not received any state pardon or acquitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, Asiwaju Tinubu remains a convict and the consequential effect is that he cannot contest the election at any level in Nigeria.

“The effect is that the listing of the name of Bola Tinubu, who stands allegedly convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction on the ballot for the 2023 presidential election is by the virtue of Section 137 (1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) fundamentally illegal, invalid and must be expunged immediately,” he further explained.

But responding to the PDP campaign council’s press conference, the spokesman for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, had described the Atiku/Okowa Organisation as a body that was deficient in ideas and originality. He noted that until its APC counterpart took Atiku to court for alleged confession to have fraudulently helped himself to state resources while serving as Vice President, the PDP campaign council did not know the road to court.

He said: “Why did they wait all these months until we filed before they are now rushing to court? I challenged them more than two months ago, yet they did nothing. It shows a team that is lacking in originality, lacking in ideas, and lacking in vision.

“It is just an attempt to create a counter-suit to our own. Unfortunately for them, Nigerians have seen through them already. They are Special Purpose Vehicles advocates that are trying to turn the tide of public opinion. Nigerians have decided; Nigerians have rejected them. This is so laughable that Nigerians are beginning to see that these are remorseless people; leopards that cannot change their skin.”

While Tinubu’s traducers have argued that his victory would be upturned by the courts, his supporters think otherwise, given the fact that he has never been convicted by any court anywhere to warrant his disqualification from occupying elective offices.

However, no matter the outcome of Obi’s petition in the election tribunal, the final decision on his petition will put the issue of Tinubu’s forfeiture of $460,000 to rest permanently.

Sangoamadioha1:
Why was the authenticity confirmed by L.P PCC spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo.

How did he confirm the authenticity

Sangoamadioha1:
You should look for the mole in your midst.

There is no mole, the audio is fake

inforesource:
Up till now I have been wondering why this Obidient movement was suddenly made to look like an igbo movement or igbo quest for presidency.

Unfortunately, the igbo then played along and now even after the nonsense called elections, the propaganda by APC keep building momentum and tagging everything igbos.

If I can remember the first time I was made to pioneer the OBIDIENT movement in my area, I booked appointment with the igbo president and his excos. I was shocked to my bones the responses I got. I was so disappointed by them because they didn't believe in the movement and they told me point blank that they were supporting APC.

I didn't waste much of my time with them and I drove off. I never got back to them and decided to work with non Indigenes, which I was part, who shared in the vision and the movement.

It was later I was told that they were ready to meet with us but it was too late a time. So, where did the OBIDIENT movement made igbos movement?

We only needed a shift from this corrupt politicians and to give this nation a hope.

Obidient movement is not an Igbo movement

Election have come and gone, the case is in court, while the stolen mandate is being retrieved let Tinubu and APC continue to spread the propaganda

Sangoamadioha1:
It was confirmed authentic by Kenneth Okonkwo, una campaign spokesman.

Really

You are so funny

Let me ask you this question

Who leaked the audio, Peter Obi or Oyedepo

Every sane Nigerian know that the Peter Obi vs Oyedepo "leak" audio is fake

But in their usual characteristic manner, Tinubu and his supporters have gone to town with it to continue to spread religious and tribal divisive lies, falsehood and propaganda.

OK but what is your Facebook or Instagram account

Why are you asking for his Facebook and Instagram account

You want to report him to the DSS, you people are now in charge of DSS

Shock you not me, because it's going to be business as usual

Jack500:
Just listen to yourself, someone with over 8million votes was selected?

It is only a fool that expect a divided opposition to win a ruling party, only a fool.

8 million votes, and they were not seen anywhere celebrating Tinubu's win

The truth remains that INEC erred in declaring Tinubu president-elect when, first, he did not get the majority of valid votes cast. secondly, Tinubu did not get the 25% of votes cast in the FCT Abuja

INEC violated the constitution, the electoral law and its guidelines.

Okoroawusa:
Obi and his followers are not finding it easy this weekend

It's actually the other way round

Peter Obi is at rest, the case is in court

While Tinubu and his APC supporters are the one not finding it easy, their propaganda machineries have been on an overdrive recently churning out lies and fake news

Their propaganda machineries have been on an overdrive for the past two days

Imagine our so called president elect, in France having fun while his supporters are here threatening their fellow countrymen for having a different democratic choice

The told Peter Obi to go to court, he is in court but still they are still jittery

Vello:
And every patriotic non tribalistic Nigerian are equally asking why Ezeife and Nwuanyanwu have not been picked up for their highly inflammatory statements against the Yourubas.
Stop reasoning with your anus

What did Ezeife and Iwuanyanwu say that will warrant their arrest

The truth remains that Tinubu and the APC have been the only people engaging in ethnic and tribally divisive campaign all through

APC and its members are the only one engaging in killing, maiming and destruction of lives and properties of other people just for have a different democratic choice

They are getting away with it because they seem to have the backing of a Notorious narcotic drug lord who is now a president elect, even portable threatened the police, telling the police that they cannot arrest him no matter his crime because he worked for Tinubu

While others are seeking redress in court, the APC are still threatening fire and brimstone

Recently, they have come up with a phantom non existing interim government just to rope in opposition leaders and arrest them
