LP on Obi’s Travails: They tried to entrap him with women, dug into his finances, bank accts

•Now they want him to flee Nigeria

The 2023 General Elections may have come and gone but the dispute over the credibility of the process continues to linger with barely seven weeks to May 29th, when the President-Elect is scheduled to be sworn into office.

However, following the intensity of Mr Peter Obi’s challenge, he, according to his party, has become a target of state-sponsored intimidation, blackmail, threats, invasion of privacy and other acts of subterfuge aimed at forcing him to abandon his legal challenge.

Perhaps for the first time in Nigeria’s recent political history, a leading opposition figure is allegedly being pressured by state actors to leave his homeland because his presence is said to be threatening national stability.

Only last week, the Department of State Security DSS, raised an alarm that political actors were plotting to orchestrate violence through “demonstrations and frivolous court orders” to stop the scheduled presidential inauguration on May 29th all in a bid to pave the way for an illegal interim government.

Within days, the Federal Government through the Minister for Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed in far away Washington DC, in the United States of America, accused the LP candidate and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed of making treasonable remarks about the outcome of the presidential polls.

He was quoted by the State-owned News Agency of Nigeria, as saying, “Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, cannot be threatening Nigerians that if the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressives Congress is sworn-in on May 29, it will be the end of democracy in Nigeria.

“This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing. Obi’s statement is that of a desperate person, he is not the Democrat that he claimed to be. A democrat should not believe in democracy only when he wins the election.” The minister’s comments have put party supporters on edge.

A member of the LP Presidential Campaign Council who pleaded anonymity so as not to jeopardize internal investigations explained that the attacks against the candidate started as soon as the campaigns started.

He said, “We have since been made aware of the orchestrated move by the state to sabotage our candidate starting from our campaigns.

“They tried entrapment by stationing all kinds of women at hotels where our candidate lodged during the campaigns that failed.

“They have been going through records of his financial dealings and bank accounts. They’ve found nothing incriminating.

“They tried bringing up the Panama papers that also failed to stick, then they resorted to the oldest trick in the book-wire tapping.”

Speaking in a similar vein, the Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Yunusa Tanko, explained that the LP candidate has lately come under intense pressure to flee Nigeria.

He said, “Before, throughout and after the campaigns, it is on record that Mr Peter Obi maintained his commitment and focus on an issues-based campaign, about a New Nigeria that is Possible, a shift of emphasis from consumption to production, as well as a New Nigeria characterized by inclusion, justice, equity, fairness and prosperity.

“ He repeatedly stated that no one should vote for him based on tribe or religion, but rather on the assessment of Character, Competence, Capacity, Credibility and Compassion, to create a New Nigeria!

“Most unfortunately, in the past few weeks, Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election has been contacted by associates, elder statesmen, family and friends with concerns for his personal safety.

“These concerns have increased intensely in the last few days as immense pressure, has been mounted directly on Mr Obi to leave the country, no doubt, from sources allied to the All-Progressive Congress (APC) and its agents in the security services.

“ Mr Obi has been repeatedly and categorically told that he has a choice to leave Nigeria or face the prospect of being arrested on false charges of inciting insurrection in the country.

“It is difficult to fathom and regrettably unfortunate that state institutions have become part of a well calculated, deliberate and orchestrated campaign of calumny by the APC to discredit and delegitimize Mr Peter Obi and compel him to abandon his right to seek redress in court following the outcome of the last election which was adjudged both locally and internationally to have failed to meet any standard of credibility or fairness.”

Tanko further said, “As part of the grand design, they are circulating a fake doctored audio call. At no time throughout the campaign and now did Mr Peter Obi ever say, think or even imply that the 2023 election is or was a religious war.

“It is very sad and wicked the attempts to manipulate Nigerians. Our legal team has been instructed to take appropriate legal actions against media outlets that make themselves willing tools in the hands of APC’s malicious propagandists.

“Despite the public denunciation of the fake audio call, its contents have been translated into other Nigerian languages and circulated in most parts of Northern Nigeria with some of our Muslim clerics deceived and instigated to use the contents for their sermons at various Mosques during the usual Friday prayers.

“This is a dangerous development at a time when the APC led-government and the APC party which have been awarded undeserved and unfair victory should be more concerned in addressing the ethnic and religious frictions unfortunately created by the outcome of the elections.

“Yet unsatisfied but determined to cause more problems, Mr Lai Mohammed, who fancies himself as modern-day Goebbels is on a tour of some selected countries to present an alternative story about the 2023 discredited election, and from his first statement in Washington has assumed the role of the courts by stating that Mr Obi has no pathway to victory.

“This is a direct intimidation of the courts and a waste of Nigerian taxpayers’ money.

“There are many more campaigns of calumny against Mr Peter Obi planned for the near future both before and during the court process.

“However, we want to make it clear to the APC party, APC led-government and its agents that Mr Peter Obi, a widely travelled man, has no intention to leave the country at this time irrespective of the pressure on him and his family.

“He is determined as he had stated in his first and only press conference after the election to challenge the outcome of the election and the process has begun. It is his fundamental right!

“While we call on all concerned Nigerians and the International Community to caution APC and the APC Led-government to stop their nasty attacks, Mr Peter Obi’s focus and commitment to lawfully and peacefully retrieve our mandate to secure and unite our Nation, take Nigeria from consumption to production, pull millions of Nigerians out of multidimensional poverty, especially in the North and jumpstart prosperity through agricultural, industrial and technological revolution remains unchanged.

“He has continued to impress upon his supporters, the essence of the legal process and will not now or in the future encourage any violence against the state.

“He has absolutely no reason for this nor is he desperate especially as throughout the campaign, he called for a new Nigeria defined by opportunities for all, an end to poverty and criminality in government, especially corruption and an end to tribal and religious division and bigotry.

“It is for this reason that we appeal to revered religious leaders especially in the North not to be part of the grand design of the state apparatus to further increase the religious and ethnic divides in the country. Irrespective of the outcome of the court process, we have an obligation to strive for the peace and co-existence of all Nigerians.

“We call on President Buhari to rein in his desperate officials at all levels as their actions or inactions could lead to an unnecessary crisis in the country.

“Elections are over, and we are in court to retrieve our stolen mandate. We reiterate that we are doing so through all lawful and peaceful options in line with our legal system and constitution, and we continue to implore all Nigerians to remain peaceful and law-abiding.

“Those fixated with heating up the polity, creating divisions, tensions and hatred within and outside Nigeria should remember that Nigeria is our only country.

“Our focus should be on how to address the litany of challenges facing us such as deliberate non-adherence to the election process, the parlous state of our economy, unsustainable debt burden, lamentable unemployment and inflation, insecurity and multi-dimensional poverty. A New Nigeria is Indeed Possible and God will help us.”

Public affairs analyst and Executive Director of Civil Societies Legislative and Advocacy Centre, Auwual Musa Rafsanjani, expressed the view that citizens have a constitutionally guaranteed right to freely hold and express their opinions within the confines of the law.

He recalled that ahead of the 2015 elections, opposition political figures threatened to form a parallel government if the elections were rigged “Nobody accused them of committing treason.”

Rafsanjani cautioned politicians against heating up the polity in pursuit of political ends because in the long run, if there was a breakdown of law and order, the entire nation would be at the receiving end.

Labour Party just disclosed that during the elections, APC and its agents used Oloshos to set trap for Peter Obi.

There is no length to which these guys won’t go, but they have met their match.

Okwute is not your mate.

😀😀

Lol.. Good luck trying to outsmart a self-made Igbo billionaire and two term ex governor of Anambra state.
They don't know who they are dealing with sha.
Obi is quiet, but he's not dumb.
Now they secretly want LP to drop the case.
Una no like Court again?

after stealing the people's mandate they are still doing this

Peter Obi, the oorcheens tormentor

APC brought madness and evil to Nigeria politics

APC will sink Nigeria finally

According to Nnamdi Kanu, Obi's taste is northern men.

APC giving you sleepless nights....pun intended

Mumu APC.

They think Obi is like them that can't do without Abuja Oloshos?

They don't know Obi is a Refined Man from a Good Christian Home.
His Brother is even a Catholic Reverend Father. 😎

A drug lord who scored less than 5m votes is calling himself President elect, and then asked us to go to court

But after seeing the content of the petition, he started sponsoring war against the real owner of the people's mandate.

Obi is coming earlier than expected

Saga16:

So does that confirm the rumor that SAW is gay?

Even if Obi cannot Fvck his wife, LP will still blame it on APC

Serious

did he sleep with her? Let us know the full details since the olosho said na APC people send me to sleep with you sir. Many nonsense dishing out these days from dumb people. To make matter worse, many people will just swallow it life and direct.
Well, propaganda is part of politics.
Do you even think it will be so easy to come close to where someone like obi is lodging and want to boss in, as in does that even make sense? Who ever came up with this idea is dumb, and very dumb at that.

Is APC an olosho party?

They want to use APC to shine

No real man of destiny that won't face ladies wahala. We all are subject to be tried by fire and women to be men of divine purpose. No exception.
Adam failed
Abraham failed
David failed
Ruben failed
Samson failed
Judah failed
Moses failed
Solomon failed
...only Joseph of Egypt and Obi of Nigeria Passed the test

When I saw Reno Omokri criticizing OBI-DATTI, that's when I realised Obi is a force to reckon with.

If as a man one can learn how to say "no" to their advances, the rest lies in God's hand to handle.

Keyamo, Dele Alaka, Bayo Onanuga, and FFK, are known patrons of Big nyash Abuja oloshos and prostitutes, check their call records and bank records. They think Peter Obi is like them.

APC is just a bunch of failed politicians.
They have nothing to offer, apart from propaganda and lies.

These people are further distroying obi's personality. Can't he sanction them. Are they saying that he went to hotel to chase after women? That is the only way he can be derailed or are they telling us that Obi is promiscuous.

No case.

Structureless party giving structure corruption party sleepless night

Propaganda here and there. Can't wait till inauguration day

You can never fathom the depth these APC scoundrels would go to implicit Obi

Which politician in Nigeria would throw an open challenge to his opponents and say "if you show where I stole money after 8 years of being a gov, I will stop campaigning"

which of them can say this "No one should vote for him based on tribe or religion, but rather on the assessment of Character, Competence, Capacity, Credibility and Compassion, to create a New Nigeria!"

They checked all the crevices, the guy was as clean as a whistle

Na Olosho with dirty smelly thing them come plan to use

Omasheye o!!!!

Obidients!!!! apply my pressure o their necks

no sleep for mandate thieves

Googledotcom:

Does that mean Buhari is also a force to reckon with? or Tinubu?

Because the criticism Obi got from Reno is a child's play compared what he has been dishing out to Buhari for 8 years straight. Obi own never even reach 6 months.





We learn everyday.
